Your subject is so long I can't see anything useful. Begin with:
dt-bindings: display: ...

bindings/video/ is gone (though a few things snuck in). This goes in
bindings/display/bridge/.

Bindings describe h/w not drivers. Rephrase in terms of what control the
h/w provides.

Reformat with one per line.

Just "reg : I2C bus address" is sufficient.

You need to define how many ports and what each port is.
