Hmm, I see a lot of

clock-lanes:
   maxItems: 1

in the device tree bindings. And 
https://docs.kernel.org/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.html says 
"Cases that have only a single entry just need to express that with 
maxItems".

Re-ordering is not supported. I guess clock-lanes can be dropped, 
although I feel that if we have the clock lane in the hardware, and the 
numbering of data-lanes must take that into account, then:

clock-lanes = <0>;
data-lanes = <1 2>;

looks better than:

data-lanes = <1 2>; /* and implicit clk lane 0 */

But I can't think of any practical benefit it brings...
