host. Experience shows that this is true for the large majority of setups.
DSI host
---------
+========
In addition to the standard properties and those defined by the parent bus of
a DSI host, the following properties apply to a node representing a DSI host.
different value here. See below.
DSI peripheral
---------------
+==============
-Peripherals are represented as child nodes of the DSI host's node. Properties
-described here apply to all DSI peripherals, but individual bindings may want
-to define additional, device-specific properties.
+Peripherals with DSI as control bus, or no control bus
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Peripherals with the DSI bus as the primary control bus, or peripherals with
+no control bus but use the DSI bus to transmit pixel data are represented
+as child nodes of the DSI host's node. Properties described here apply to all
+DSI peripherals, but individual bindings may want to define additional,
+device-specific properties.
Required properties:
- reg: The virtual channel number of a DSI peripheral. Must be in the range
property is the number of the first virtual channel and the second cell is
the number of consecutive virtual channels.
-Example
--------
+Peripherals with a different control bus
+----------------------------------------
+
+There are peripherals that have I2C/SPI (or some other non-DSI bus) as the
+primary control bus, but are also connected to a DSI bus (mostly for the data
+path). Connections between such peripherals and a DSI host can be represented
+using the graph bindings [1], [2].

+Examples

+- (4) is an example of a peripheral on a I2C control bus connected to a
+ DSI host using of-graph bindings.
