This change makes the new properties mandatory, yet they aren't part of
the DT files yet. So, won't this patch break all display on Tegra?
To avoid having to modify the Tegra DTs in this patch, can't the code
fall back to the existing broken algorithm if the property is missing, i.e.:

Instead,:
if (dc->pipe == -1)
dc->pipe = tegra->drm->mode_config.num_crtc;

Instead:
err = ...
if (!err)
dc->pipe = value;
else
/* Perhaps also emit an error message here */
dc->pipe = -1;
