That's a good point. The part that bothers me a bit is that it would be
nice to define the property in a single YAML schema, referenced by
individual bindings. video-interfaces.yaml is there for that purpose. We
could do something similar on the display side, or consider the
pixelclk-active usage in panel-timings.yaml an exception that we can't
switch to video-interfaces.yaml as backward compatibility must be
preserved.
I don't have a too strong preference, whatever Rob prefers would be fine
with me.

Something along the lines of
if:
not:
properties:
compatible:
contains:
const: lvds-encoder
then:
properties:
pixelclk-active: false
My YAML schema foo is a bit rusty though, I apologize if this doesn't
work as-is. There are lots of similar examples in DT bindings that
should hopefully be right :-)

Either way works for me.
