The example below is how dual DSI bindings could look like. Let me know what
you think of it.

If both DSI outputs drive the same device (i.e, point to the same panel DT
node), then I think it's reasonable enough to assume that the DSIs are
operating in a 'dual-channel' mode. That being said, we still need DT to
describe which of the DSIs generates the clock for both the channels. This
is done with the 'clock-master' DT binding.

Thanks,
Archit

mipi_dsi: mipi@ff960000 {
	...

	clock-master;	/* implies that this DSI instance drivers the clock
			 * for both the DSIs.
			 */

	ports {
		mipi_in: port {
			...
			...
		};

		/* add extra output ports for both DSIs */
		mipi_out: port {
			mipi_panel_out: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&panel_in_channel0>;
			};
		};
	};

	panel {
		...
		...
		/*

		ports {

			port@0 {
				panel_in_channel0: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&mipi_panel_out>;
				};

			port@1 {
