I don't understand, we do not talk about fallbacks. I also do not
understand at all how this relates to my comment.

Can't you autodetect this?

Again, only one fallback here, not sure what are you asking about. BTW,
DT spec explains compatibles...

How DT spec and tutorials like elinux ask... What is exactly the problem
or question?

How LVDS bridge is related to this one here?

I mean this compatible, not if clause.
