Ultimately, I'd like it documented in one place. It can stay in
media/video-interfaces.txt for now, but we should probably move it or
portions of it out of media/. I don't have a good suggestion other
than up a level where people will find it easily.

I'd say no, it is just the data lines.

Not sure, I'd guess not.

Hmm, should I extend media/video-interfaces.txt with more bus types (or since
I'm targeting parallel interfaces, perhaps the new bus types should be
autodetected from other props?) or should a write a new binding similar to
it?

One question regarding bus-width, should it include hsync/vsync/de/clk?
If yes, how to distinguish rgb565 with all those four from rgb666 with
only de/clk (some panels do not need hsync/vsync)? 20 lines in both
cases...

Or are rgb444/rgb565/rgb666/rgb888 already supported by the media video
interface binding? That's not at all obvious to me.

Cheers,
Peter

This needs to be generic, not just added to some random display 
controller binding.

It also belongs in the port or endpoint node as is done for camera 
interfaces.
