This address is 0x78 on my Nexus 5. Given [3] above it looks like we
need to support both addresses. What do you think about moving these
addresses into device tree?

The downstream and upstream kernel sources divide these addresses by two
to get the i2c address. Here's the code in upstream:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/analogix-anx78xx.c#L1353
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/analogix-anx78xx.c#L41

I'm not sure why the actual i2c address isn't used in this code.
