The OnSemi FIN3385 Parallel-to-LVDS encoder has a dedicated input line to
select input pixel data sampling edge. Add DT property "pclk-sample", not
the same as the one used by display timings but rather the same as used by
media, to define the pixel data sampling edge.

Shouldn't this be moved to the endpoint, the same way data-mapping is
defined as an endpoint property ?

The strapping is a chip property, not port property, so no.

For this particular chip that's true. I'm still not convinced overall.
For some cases it could be a per-port property, and moving it there for
lvds-codec too could allow implementing helpers to parse DT properties,
without much drawback for this particular use case as far as I can see.
It's hard to predict the future with certainty of course, so I won't
insist.

Can you be more specific about "some cases" ?

The DT bindings and the OS drivers are separate thing, we really 
shouldn't start bending DT bindings so that they would fit nicely with a 
specific OS driver model.

I'm thinking about bridges that could have multiple parallel inputs.

DT bindings are not holy beings that live in a mythical heaven way above
the mere mortal drivers, they would be useless without implementations.
It's not about bending them, which I regularly push against during
review, but about structuring them in a way that facilitates
implementations when all other things are equal.

As I said, despite wondering whether or not it would be better to move
the property to the endpoint (and that was a genuine open question), I
won't insist in this case.

Can you draft an example how such a binding would look like within the 
confines of this lvds-codec.yaml ?

I also have to wonder how such a hypothetical device would work, would 
it serialize two parallel bussed into single LVDS one ?

Note that the pclk-sample isn't a property of the input, but of the 
chip, I don't think it is a good idea to say they are equal and conflate 
them like so.

Such a device would require custom bindings I think, as lvds-codec is
limited to a single input and a single output. thine,thc63lvd1024.yaml
is an example of such a device.

With a chip that has a single input, that's always the case :-)

Anyway, I don't mind a chip-level property for this binding as we're
limited to a single port. If other devices need to specify this at the
port level, I'm sure we'll be able to cope with the lack of uniformity.

It seems THC63LVD1024 is LVDS->to->Parallel DPI, so pclk-sample does not 
seem applicable there either.
