Actually, dsi0_out is the input to the bridge.
So the data lanes here are "MIPI DSI lanes", which is hardcoded to 4,
for both sn65 driver and ps8640 driver, right?

What's different in sn65 driver and ps8640 driver is the output data
lanes for DP:
* sn65 supports 1, 2, or 4 DP lanes. The driver parses DP "data lanes"
from DT and then configures the support accordingly.
* ps8640 supports 1 or 2 DP lanes. As of now, the driver doesn't parse
DP "data lanes" from DT.

As a result:
* Adding input "data lanes" for either sn65 or ps8640 DT is not useful.
* Adding output "data lanes" for sn65 DT is useful, while adding
output "data lanes" for ps8640 DT is not useful.
