drm seems like a sub-optimal name.
How about usign the compatible name "display-subsystem" as it is a bit
more specific (but not good).

Any chance this can be (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause).
I noticed that for example clock/sprd,sc9863a-clk.yaml uses this license
so I hope this is OK.

Add type - like this:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle-array

See for example display/rockchip/rockchip-drm.yaml

Any specific reason why this is not a ports node like used by many other
display bindings?
In other words - I think this is too simple.

Add:
additionalProperties: false

so we catch if other properties sneak in.
