I wonder if it won't be enough to expand the Optional endpoint
properties description as in:

 - port@1: Second LVDS input port, to be used for dual-input mode
 - port@3: Second digital CMOS/TTL parallel output, to be used for
   dual-output mode.

If you prefer providing more context, it's fine what you had, just
keep in mind there's also dual-output mode and not just the dual-input
one.

Up to you, feel free to add my
