I had consider this way before, but consider we have no product (now
and in next 2/3 years) can support >2 pipes. So for DT I decide to
focus on current, but you may see I add two side_by_side flags.

- mdev->side_by_side.
- crtc->side_by_side.

And beside the DT parse we use mdev->side_by_side, the real SBS
operation actually based on crtc->side_by_side, then once the HW
changed, we only need to update the SBS assemble/decision code, but no
need to update the real sbs logic.

thanks

Yes, you're right, current implementation just use simplest way to
show the feature, and for dynamic enable/disable sbs will be added
when we have the real usage case.

I think we'd add such support when we have the real use case. :)
