The used HDMI interrupt events are screen plug/unplug and EDID read.
There are also CEC read/write which are not yet implemented in the
tda998x driver.

There is no difference from normal interrupts, except that the events
may be get by polling, so, the interrupt number is optional.

The video-ports value defines how the video controller is connected to
the tda998x chip. Each 4 bits value tells from which input pins comes
the video data and if there is any bit inversion. Each byte of this
video-ports is used to load the VIP_CNTRL_{0,1,2} registers. These ones
are described in the TDA9983B documentation which is the closer
available document about the TDA998x family.

The default value is the one defined for TI boards.
A known other value is <0x234501> which is used for Russell's Armada
DRM driver in the Cubox (Marvell A510), but this driver has no DT
support.
