I added it since you don't really get any good hints on where things fails if they do it.
Debugging code or not depends on the definition I guess - it helps the user track down a faulty devicetree,
or as in the case below mismatch with the DSI driver.

Apparently not which I assumed. Other bindings mentions dsi-lanes, but I guess "num-dsi-lanes" would be more correct.

As before, it helps the user who has a messed up devicetree find out, since we now gets some more configurability using devicetree.
Would it be acceptable as a separate commit, or should I simply skip this?
