You say multiple streams, but bindings describe only one stream.

Specs [1] uses "/PDWN" name for the pin, moreover gpios suffix is preferred.

Another issue I see is two possibly contradicting conventions:
1. Properties should be named according to specs - so here it should be
named pdwn-gpios.
2. The bindings tries to be generic for lvds decoders, in such case
probably preferred name should be more generic, maybe power-gpios.

Personally I would prefer 1, in such case generic lvds-decoder driver
should look for gpio names according to compatible string.

According to specs it has two lvds input and two parallel output ports,
maybe it would be good to describe all here.
