Vendor does not care about rules of DT thus puts there completely fake
information just to make their drivers working

These are not vendor's mistakes. This is deliberate WRONG information.

Sorry, I am not going to keep discussing each property based what vendor
wrote.

Open datasheet which I said is public.

You are mixing devices. We do not talk about vddio supply in dsi node.
We talk about THIS device, so open this device datasheet and read it.

Why? How device can work without power? Datasheet mentioned which
supplies can be optional, e.g. grounded or wired to the same source of
supply.
