Okay, will make the change!

The idea behind this is to check the presence of the boolean property.

if (dual-lvds-odd-pixels is present)
then
[..]


I tried implementing this:

	[..]
	  dual-lvds-odd-pixels:
	    - const: true
	[..]

But this is throwing an error. I am confused what else could be done.
Can you please suggest what might be a more accurate check here?

I agree with your comment here. It makes sense to only have

	dual-lvds-even-pixels: true

and have the oneOf condition take care of the other. But, I just tested
this and it was unable to pick-up this intentionally-added error.

I added 'dual-lvds-odd-pixels' property to both the nodes, and
dt_binding_check passes successfully (which it should have not.)

Instead, if I only keep this,

	dual-lvds-odd-pixels: false

then the dt_binding_check detects the error as it should.

Regardless, I am curious why the first method doesn't work. Will try to
explore more on that.

Okay!

Alright. Will make the change!
