OK, but I guess we agree that the comment needs a small update them.
Actually I implicitly reads that it is only from Gen3 onwards that the
LVDS1 encoder can be used as a companion.
My initial understanding reading the comment was that this implmented a
workaround for Gen3 - but it is a workarounf for missing features in
older than Gen3.
So, assuming this is correct, when trying to specify a companion on
older then Gen3 should result in some kind of error/warning?
(Maybe it does).
