Hi Martin.

Pixel/tunnel mode is chosen automatically based on HW capabilities
routing, formats, etc.

I don't plan on adding a way to force it, since the presumption
is that the serdes framework will pick the best use case available, as
long as all the data can make its way to the PHY.

Forcing pixel/tunnel mode shouldn't be done via device-tree since it's
not related to the way hardware is wired up to the rest of the system.
