Specs says about 3 supply voltage values:
- 1.2V - digital core, DSI-RX PHY
- 1.8-3.3V - digital I/O
- 3.3V - LVDS-TX PHY

So I guess it should be minimal number of supplies. Natural candidates:

- vddc-supply: core voltage supply, 1.2V
- vddio-supply: I/O voltage supply, 1.8V or 3.3V
- vddlvds-supply: LVDS1/2 voltage supply, 3.3V

I have changed name of the latest supply to be more consistent with
other supplies, and changed 1.8-3.3 (which incorrectly suggest voltage
range), to more precise voltage alternative.

Since the bridge is controlled via DSI bus, DSI input port is not necessary.
