I wish I had. This is the best documentation that I got access to,
after a lot of googling:
http://www.ahdsensor.com/downloadRepository/3acdda8d-b531-4a76-a27d-9dd09be980ee.pdf

I never understood this secrecy around datasheets. How the f*&& are we
going to buy chips and make desings around them if we cannot get
information?! Sorry that was my daily vent

The 2 and 4 lane option was obtained from the functional description
of the chip (page 1). The obvious order would be <1 2>, but I have
also seen <1 3> in other chips, so I rather not mention it on the
devicetree doc.

Thanks a lot for your review :)
