I haven't walked through all the relevant code but something you said
above sounds strange. You say that for eDP we don't have info about
the number of lanes? We _should_.

It's certainly possible to have a panel that supports _either_ 1 or 2
lanes but then only physically connect 1 lane to it. ...or you could
have a panel that supports 2 or 4 lanes and you only connect 1 lane.
See, for instance, ti_sn_bridge_parse_lanes. There we assume 4 lanes
but if a "data-lanes" property is present then we can use that to know
that fewer lanes are physically connected.

It's also possible to connect more lanes to a panel than it supports.
You could connect 2 lanes to it but then it only supports 1. This case
needs to be handled as well...
