The register layout and the lane mapping in the PHY change a bit.

If this was an entirely new binding, I would agree, but this is not
really the case here.

We discussed it already for the v2, and this binding is essentially the
same one than the bcm2835 HDMI controller.

I initially sent a patch adding conditionnals for the clocks and regs
differences too, and you asked to split the binding into a separate file
to simplify it a bit.

Supporting both the old binding, and the new one based on the connector
is going to make the code significantly more complicated, and I'm not
really sure why we would here.

Thanks!
