Now that you have C-PHY here, does the hardware support data line order
mapping? Just wondering. The bindings can be added without that and support
added later on---that's what the video-interfaces.yaml is currently
missing.

lane-polarities is only valid for D-PHY. What about the data-lanes, the
maximum is probably different for C-PHY?
