OK.  Looked at your review of the .yaml and the "uniqueItems" is
probably the bit I didn't think of.  With that I can limit this but
it's still a little awkward.  I still haven't figured out how to force
data-lanes and lane-polarities to have the same number of items, too.
I'll add this as an add-on patch to my v2 and folks can decide if they
like it or hate it.

# See ../../media/video-interface.txt for details.
data-lanes:
  oneOf:
    - minItems: 1
      maxItems: 1
      uniqueItems: true
      items:
        enum:
          - 0
          - 1
      description:
        If you have 1 logical lane it can go to either physical
        port 0 or port 1.  Port 0 is suggested.

    - minItems: 2
      maxItems: 2
      uniqueItems: true
      items:
        enum:
          - 0
          - 1
      description:
        If you have 2 logical lanes they can be reordered on
        physical ports 0 and 1.

    - minItems: 4
      maxItems: 4
      uniqueItems: true
      items:
        enum:
          - 0
          - 1
          - 2
          - 3
      description:
        If you have 4 logical lanes they can be reordered on
        in any way.
