Ok.
Something like "opencores,video" ?
The older framebuffer driver has "opencores,ocfb"; I assumed the
suffix -fb was because of it is a "framebuffer" _driver_, but maybe it
is because they consider it a "framebuffer" _device_.
Maybe I can keep the same "compatible" string? Is it ok to have two
drivers (maybe temporarily, until the older one fades out) with the
same "compatible" ?

Not sure about this. I'll check.

You mean telling that the port must be a connection to a DRM bridge,
leaving out further details?
