This property doesn't enable dual-link mode, it only specifies the
companion LVDS encoder used for dual-link mode, when enabled (through
communication between the LVDS encoder and the LVDS receiver at
runtime).

Jacopo had a similar comment so I suppose this isn't clear. How would
you word it to make it clear ?

Good point, I'll fix that.
