Both lvds0, and lvds1 are actually the same 'module' (just different mappings
within the same IP block).

That means they will share clock, reset etc.

Will specifying the resets cause one to affect the other unduly?

like if one becomes un-used, will it power down? or is it refcounted, and will
gracefully handle both device nodes from the same device?

I'm already fairly sure clocks is fine for this - but it's just the reset's that
worry me. If the reset module tries to reset lvds0 for some reason - would lvds1
get reset as a side effect ...

Or perhaps that won't ever happen with an :

		power-domains = <&sysc R8A77995_PD_ALWAYS_ON>;
		resets = <&cpg 727>;
