[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: display: verisilicon,dc: generalize for single-output variants

The existing schema assumes a fixed clock/reset topology and dual-output
port structure matching the DC8200 IP block.  This prevents reuse for
single-output variants such as the Verisilicon DCU Lite used in the
Nuvoton MA35D1 SoC.

Rework the schema so that variant-specific constraints are expressed
via allOf/if-then-else:

- The thead,th1520-dc8200 compatible keeps its existing five-clock,
  three-reset, dual-port requirements.

- A standalone verisilicon,dc compatible covers IPs whose identity is
  discovered entirely through hardware registers; these have flexible
  clock and reset counts, a single 'port' property, and no 'ports'
  requirement.

Changes to the base schema:
- Replace the fixed clock/reset items lists with minItems/maxItems
  ranges; variant sub-schemas tighten the constraints via if-then-else.
- Add a 'port' property (graph.yaml single-port alias) alongside the
  existing 'ports', for single-output variants.
- Drop the unconditional 'ports' requirement; each if-branch enforces
  its own port topology.
- Tighten additionalProperties to unevaluatedProperties to allow
  per-variant schemas to add their own constraints cleanly.
- Fix a stray space in the port at 0 description.
- Add a DT example for the generic verisilicon,dc compatible
  (Nuvoton MA35D1 DCU Lite).
