Tha IT6505 bridge only supports "lane swapping" that reverses the
output pins, so only lane 1 or lane 2 is not valid. I'll update this
in the commit message as well.

I don't think we have a "default" in the IT6505 driver because it
currently doesn't have any use case that has all 4 pins described in
an output node. The old use case uses an extcon node to describe the
output, and a 4-pin connection makes no sense for mode switches.

However, we can drop this binding and make it the default when
'data-lanes' is omitted. This will be useful when we migrate the
extcon description to the an output port node.

I added a new example because I don't think extcon and mode switches
can co-exist. Should I merge the examples to one anyway?

I'll address other comments in the next version.
