The problem here is that bridge output is connected to micro-USB
connector(not HDMI !!!).
And currently there are no bindings for micro-USB connector. Creating
good bindings can be tricky
because micro-USB connector can be used to multiple functions:
- USB,
- charging,
- UART,
- MHL,
- audio,
- ...
And it can be controlled by different chips (MUICs), with different
capabilities.

I plan to send RFC in near future of such bindings (as I need them for
sii8620), but I guess it would require more review before it will be
accepted.

Returning to SiI9234, solution would be to add output port bindings to
SiI9234, but do not add them to dts. It will make bindings for Sii9234
complete.

Regards
Andrzej
