This looks far too simplistic.  There are different classes of DVI
connector - there is:

DVI A - analogue only
DVI D - digital only (single and dual link)
DVI I - both (single and dual digital link)

DRM at least makes a distinction between these three classes, and this
disctinction is part of the user API.  How would a display system know
which kind of DVI connector is wired up on the board from this DT
description?

Yes, I think that's a valid change. But do we also need to specify
single/dual link, in addition to the three types?

I guess the compatible string is the easiest way for differentation, at
least for the three main types, i.e. "dvi-d-connector" etc.

"dvi-d-1l-connector" and "dvi-d-2l-connector" for the single/dual link?
That looks a bit funny.
