Sure.

This is the subsystem node.  It has no other properties currently.

I'm using compatible strings for the different instances of the module:
brcm,bcm2835-pixelvalve0/1/2.  This lets the connections get wired up
cleanly and understandably within the driver.  I spent a long time
trying to come up with an OF graph-based implementation, and I
eventually gave up.

You say hpd-gpios is deprectated, but that I should use the
hdmi-connector binding that uses hpd-gpios.  Which one is it?  If
hpd-gpios deprecated, what is supposed to be used instead?
