This should be

	compatible = "fsl,imx8mm-csi", "fsl,imx7-csi";;

Have you tried looking at the error interrupt counters to see if the
CSI-2 bus side operates as expected ? I'd start there before blaming the
clocks. Note that the issue could also be in the CSI bridge.

I've had issues capturing from one particular sensor on an i.MX8MM
board, where I would get images, but with heavy corruption. The problem
was solved by chance when trying a different SPL binary. I need to
investigate the differences there, and possibly update the driver
accordingly. It may or may not be related to your issue.

Apart from the compatible string issue mentioned above, the bindings
match what I am using, so, with the compatible string fixed,
