Ok I will use the standard data-lanes and remove this.

I don't see a standard property for the CSI pixel formats.
Do you mean media bus formats?

Ok. The valid values list will be added in next revision.

This is put on both ports to keep it consistent with other drivers.
The video-format values are specific to Xilinx.
The width here means bit per component.

I will update this in next version.

Right. I will describe them in the next version correctly.
0 will be sink pad and 1 will source pad.

I didn't know more and added both. I will keep this.

Ok I will break the range into 2 parts and access DPHY accordingly.
