This is the wrong directory. Bindings are supposed to be OS agnostic,
but DRM is (mostly) Linux-specific. video/bridge would be a better
subdirectory for this. Somebody really ought to be moving out the
existing bindings in the drm subdirectory to a more proper location.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt doesn't contain an
entry for parade yet.

In case of an external backlight, don't you still need a way to control
it? Perhaps instead of using this boolean property you should make this
take a phandle to the real backlight? Like so:
backlight {
compatible = "pwm-backlight";
...
}
bridge@48 {
compatible = "parade,ps8622";
...
backlight = <&/backlight>;
}
Then you can simply look up the backlight device when that property
exists and instantiate the built-in backlight otherwise.

Why is this specifying display-timings? It's not mentioned in the
binding above and I don't see why the bridge would need to provide
one since it's really a property of the panel.
