The lvds-encoder driver handles this binding, and that driver incidentally
also implements the thine,thc63lvdm83d binding which already has a
pwdn-gpios property. Should the thine,thc63lvdm83d binding be updated and
the driver be made to support both properties?

Since the lvds-encoder driver never had support for the pwdn-gpios (at least
not upstream) I suppose there is also the option to simply go with
powerdown-gpios as you suggest and not bother with support for the
pwdn-gpios property.

I'm quite willing to send an updated series, but I don't know what is
preferred, and am in need of guidance.

Cheers,
Peter
