Add a new optional renesas,companion property to point to the companion
LVDS encoder. This is used to support dual-link operation where the main
LVDS encoder splits even-numbered and odd-numbered pixels between the
two LVDS encoders.

The new property doesn't control the mode of operation, it only
describes the relationship between the master and companion LVDS
encoders.

If I got this right, the property does not enable dual-link
operations by itself, but it needs the next bridge to be operating in
dual link mode (ie. has both LVDS0 and LVDS1 output connected to its
input ports). Is it worth describing it here (or at least clarify the
the property alone does not enable dual link operations).

Apart from that

Correct.

How about the following ?

- renesas,companion : phandle to the companion LVDS encoder. This property is
  mandatory for the first LVDS encoder on D3 and E3 SoCs, and shall point to 
  the second encoder to be used as a companion in dual-link mode. It shall not 
  be set for any other LVDS encoder.
