Hmm, well, the panel driver must look for its properties either in the
panel node, or in the endpoint node (I guess it could look them from
both, but that doesn't sound good).

If you write the panel driver, and in all your cases the properties work
fine in the panel node, does that mean they'll work fine with everybody?

I guess there are different kinds of properties. Something like a
regulator is obviously property of the panel. But anything related to
the video itself, like DPI's bus width, or perhaps even something like
"orientation" if the panel supports such, could need to be in the
endpoint node.

But yes, I understand what you mean. With "common-video-property" I
meant common properties like DPI bus width.

Right.

Yes.

The drivers should not know about simplified/normal bindings. They
should use CDF DT helper functions to get the port and endpoint
information. The helper functions would do the assuming.
