Hi Rob,

I just found out as I'm about to send a new revision that I had not yet
responded to your concerns here.

The point here is to indicate how the bitstream was configured and not
to indicate what some run-time configuration should be. The bottomline
is to let the driver have knowledge of the bitstream configuration,
like it's done for the other properties.

This could typically be used by the driver to check if a connected panel/bridge
is compatible or not with the bitstream configuration.

As a result, it doesn't reflect the general "bus configuration" for which
we may have a generic property, but a bitstream configuration property that
is specific to our hardware. Hence why I think it makes sense to have it
described that way.

Fair enough, I guess I had seen similar things around but there's no real
use-case as far as I know.

I will definitely switch to a single port and describe its purpose.
