Yes, "lines" in this context refers to the number of pins used for the 
input pixel data bus, which can support 16, 18, or 24-bit wide data 
buses. These are parallel data lines (or pins) that carry uncompressed 
digital video to the HDMI transmitter.

I guess from working with the hardware/reference manual and using this chip?

I don't think it is overly confusing, especially since the port is 
already described as the "Parallel RGB input port" which clearly implies 
the use of pins for data transmission.

I am open to other suggestions if you believe a different name would 
improve clarity.

Btw, bridge/toshiba,tc358768.yaml, which performs a similar function, 
also uses the term data-lines.
