Why do we need a new compatible? You have ports and properties to see if 
the panel is dual link.

We already have dual link LVDS supported in advantech,idk-2121wr.yaml 
which says is compatible with 'panel-lvds', so that decision has already 
been made. The hint was you added the compatible match to the driver 
with 0 other changes needed.

That schema is missing type definitions and constraints for 
dual-lvds-odd-pixels/dual-lvds-even-pixels so there does need to be some 
changes to add those.
