The difference is the panel bindings have a common schema included 
which defines 'port' at least as a node. I don't think an include would 
help too much here, so probably best to add 'type: object' for now. 
Either way, this may change once video-interfaces.txt is converted if 
any of those properties apply here.

Either way:
