Thanks, I'll rephrase to describe the hardware better regarding LVDS.

Same as above, the wording stems from 1cb0c87d27dcc ("dt-bindings: soc:
imx8mp-media-blk-ctrl: Add LDB subnode into schema and example").
I'll drop it to avoid confusion.

This block control is a collection of registers for different purposes:
* MIPI-DSI
* MIPI-CSI
* Parallel camera
* LVDS
* CAMERA_MUX

At lease for parallel camera, another subnode is expected ([1]).

I'm not sure what the best practices are. This LDB has two registers
inside this block. So it seems reasonable to me to indicate this using
a reg property. On the other hand, access is solely done by accessing
via syscon, so unsynchronized reg access is not an issue.

What I am getting from your comments this node should not have 'reg'
property, as it uses syscon anyway.

This is already from the original binding. I'll fix in a separate commit.
