[PATCH RFC 1/3] dt-bindings: phy: qcom,sc8280xp-qmp-usb43dp-phy: Document default phy mode

The QMP USB3/DP Combo PHY hosts an USB3 phy and a DP PHY on top
of a combo glue to route either lanes to the 4 shared physical lanes.

The routing of the lanes can be:
- 2 DP + 2 USB3
- 4 DP
- 2 USB3

And the layout of the lanes can be swpped depending of an
eventual USB-C connector orientation.

Nevertheless those QMP Comby PHY can be statically used to
drive a DisplayPort connector, DP->HDMI bridge, USB3 A Connector...

But if a 4lanes DP->HDMI bridge is directly connected to the
QMP Comby PHY lanes, in the default routing 2 or the 4 lanes would
probbaly be USB3, making the DP->HDMI bridge non functional.

Add a property to hint in which layout mode the QMP Comby PHY
should be as startup.
