Apart from the comment made by Hans regarding the macro name, this looks good
to me.

The first sentence mentions *at least* one sink pad and one source pad, and
the second one refers to "its sink pad" and "its source pad". This is a bit
confusing. An easy option would be to require a single sink and a single
source pad, but that would exclude bridges that combine a multiplexer.
I also wonder whether "bridge" is the appropriate word here. Transceiver might
be a better choice, to insist on the fact that one of the two pads corresponds
to a physical interface that has special electrical properties (such as HDMI,
eDP, or CSI-2 that all require PHYs).
