Hi Mani,

Thank you for the patch.

The pin is named INCK, let's name the clock accordingly.

This shouldn't be needed, you can retrieve the clock frequency at
runtime from the clock source.

Do we really need three regulators ? I agree that the sensor has three
power rails, but aren't they usually powered by regulators that are
tied together, without individual control ? The IMX926 specifications
require the three power supplies to raise within 200ms, which we should
be able to ensure in software. What does your board use, does it have
multiple GPIOs to control each power supply ? If not I wonder if we
could just define vddd-supply now, and add vdda-supply and vddo-supply
later if we need to support systems that can control the supplies
individually.
