I think I'd go with CVBS as I don't think HDMI would be considered as the most 
useful configuration here. The Draak board is unlikely to be used by us as a 
reference platform to test HDMI capture, is it ?

This being said, you can instantiate the adv7612 and HDMI connector in DT, 
without connecting them to the VIN. That would make it easy to quickly change 
the configuration.
