Yes. Freed pins could work as GPIOs or other functions.

TBH, I don't have a best compatible string and open to suggestions.
"dpi-color-encoder" came up to my mind just because the MIPI DPI standard
documentation mentions *color coding* and this bridge changes the coding,
hence *encoder*.

If folks think "dumb-dpi-color-encoder" or "transparent-dpi-color-encoder"
are good enough, I'd use it.  Just let me know which one to use.

Do you suggest to write a separate/new DT binding for this bridge?

Hmm, good catch!  I did upgrade dtschema to version 2025.2 with pip3 and
didn't see any warnings/errors reported by dt_binding_check, weird...
