There's actually three HDMI connectors:

  All three connectors carry all required HDMI signals, including a TMDS
  link. The Type B connector is slightly larger and carries a second TMDS
  link, which is necessary to support very high resolution displays using
  dual link. The Type C connector carries the same signals as the Type A
  but is more compact and intended for mobile applications.

So, Type C and Type A are electrically the same.

There's also D (e.g. on BeagleBone Black) and E:

Electrically they seem to be the same as A/C.

Right. And then there are the HDMI versions, and things like HDMI
Ethernet Channel. After looking at these a bit, I don't think the HDMI
connector needs any of those (hdmi version, eth) defined.

So...

	compatible = "hdmi-connector";
	type = "a";

Or

	compatible = "hdmi-connector";
	type-a;

I don't right away see any big pro with either one compared to the other.
