Please check Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/lvds.yaml.
lvds.yaml metions slot.  'bits_per_lane_and_dclk_cycle' means the
number of slots.  But, I don't find the word 'slot' in my lvds relevant
specs which mentioned in lvds.yaml, so 'slots' is probably not a
generic name(lvds.yaml is for display panel).  So, I use
'bits_per_lane_and_dclk_cycle' as the name tells what it means.

Patch 5/5 uses it. Also, I posted two drm bridge drivers[1][2] which
use it.
