Jacopo asked the same question on v1 :-) Dual-output should be described
as well, but as I have no hardware setup where to test that, I decided
to leave it out of the DT bindings to start with, as it's generally a
bad idea to specify untested DT bindings (as in having no end-to-end
implementation). I don't think it will be a big deal though, there is
already a port for the second output, it should just be a matter of
connecting it.

Not to my knowledge. In dual-in, dual-out the two input/output pairs are
not independent, the two inputs are used together to create a higher
bandwidth link, and the odd- and even-pixels are then sent to separate
routes.
