Is this specific to a port?

I was wondering whether we should include this to video-interfaces.txt bus
type list, and V4L2 MBUS types. This way it could be also parsed by the
v4l2-fwnode framework.

Looking at the Wikipedia article, there are preceding standards, too, that
are referred to by a pair of letters:

<URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_digital_interface#Standards>

What does "DS" stand for?

Is this a property of the hardware?

This, too. If there's just one choice, is there a need for the property?
