You are correct that it has not been documented yet. I will send a patch
to the dt-schema repo.

The devices this patch series targets all use eDP panels, which are
more or less directly probe-able.
The panels mentioned for the second phase are MIPI panels, which require
specific power and command sequences and thus are not probe-able. This
will be worked on once this part is done. For the panels it is entirely
handled in the chrome platform device tree prober. See the following
patch for an earlier version of it:

Sure!

Thanks. There are still some comments to address, in particular making
the prober more of a pluggable framework and exposing more code as
helpers.
