Adam, Neil,

I meant to get to this earlier today, but broken CI got in the way...

I'd rather this description did not say anything about drivers.
How about:
	If absent, the pixel clock from the attached device or bridge
	will be used instead.
Or perhaps "must be used"? Ditto below.

Description aside, the removal seems to be backwards compatible - but
can every device that this binding supports work using an "attached
device or bridge", or are these properties going to be required for
certain compatibles?

Thanks,
Conor.
