heuristic, I'll fix that for v3, so please review as if it wasn't there...

For v3, I'll extend the binding with this after the preexisting example:

------------------8<-----------------
Example 2: With a video interface override to force rgb565, as above
but with these changes/additions:

&hlcdc {
	hlcdc-display-controller {
		pinctrl-names = "default";
		pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_lcd_base &pinctrl_lcd_rgb565>;

		port@0 {
			hlcdc_panel_output: endpoint@0 {
				bus-type = <0>;
				bus-width = <16>;
			};
		};
	};
};
------------------8<-----------------

Is that a good plan, or should I perhaps duplicate the whole example?

Cheers,
Peter
