Add bindings for a physical, hot-pluggable connector allowing the far end
of a MIPI DSI bus to be connected and disconnected at runtime.

+title: Hot-pluggable connector on a MIPI DSI bus
+
+maintainers:
+  - Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli at bootlin.com>
+
+description:
+  A bridge representing a physical, hot-pluggable connector on a MIPI DSI
+  video bus. The connector splits the video pipeline in a fixed part and a
+  removable part.
+
+  The fixed part of the video pipeline includes all components up to the
+  display controller and 0 or more bridges. The removable part includes one
+  or more bridges and any other components up to the panel.
+
+  The removable part of the pipeline can be physically disconnected at any
+  moment, making all of its components not usable anymore. The same or a
+  different removable part of the pipeline can be reconnected later on.
+
+  Note that the hotplug-video-connector does not describe video busses
+  having native hotplug capabilities in the hardware, such as HDMI.
