Should I understand this as if the polarities were not specified, BT.656
will be used? The bindings previously documented BT.601 (parallel) only, so
it was somewhat ambigious to begin with. Is there a risk of interpreting
old BT.601 bindings as BT.656? With bus-type property, I believe you could
avoid at least that risk.

Also not specifying at least one of the default values leads to BT.656
without bus-type. That could be addressed by removing the defaults.
