Here's the commit that adds the device tree binding:
https://gitorious.org/thierryreding/linux/commit/43b798a54063156692e0fde2a9022c0ae44b862e
I was under the impression that we needed the #*-cells properties so
that the device tree code could verify that the content is actually
correct and so that it knows how to parse the specifier. I mean why
else do we have the #gpio-cells property for GPIO controller nodes?
Also note that this driver isn't for something internal to the DRM
driver. It can (and will) also be used by the V4L2 camera driver that
Bryan is working on, because the CSI pads need to be calibrated in the
same way.
