I'm not a fan of having non-hardware related things in the DT data.
Especially if it makes direct references to our SW, in this case DRM.
There's no DRM on the board. I wanted to avoid all that with OMAP
display bindings.

Is there even need for such a master device? You can find all the
connected display devices from any single display device, by just
following the endpoint links.

Shouldn't the pix-fmt be defined in the endpoint node? It is about pixel
format for a particular endpoint, isn't it?

Is the ldb something that's on the imx SoC?

Do you have a public branch somewhere? It'd be easier to look at the
final result, as I'm not familiar with imx.
