[PATCH RFC 0/4] Update imx678 to act as a common Sony Starvis 2 driver.

[Dave Stevenson]

The IMX678 (8MPix) driver has been accepted.

Whilst preparing a patchset for IMX662 (1080p), I observed such
commonality between the two that it seemed sensible to attempt
a common driver rather than submitting a separate IMX662 series
again.

On checking my box of sensors, I found I had an IMX675 (5MPix) as
well, so that has been incorporated.

This set proposes a common driver that is working with all 3 of
those sensors.
It's sent as an RFC to gather confirmation that the resulting driver
structure is acceptable as implied by [1].

If it is viewed as acceptable then there is still a modest amount
of tidying up required:
- DT binding updates for the extra compatibles.
- Rename the common functions so that the model references are
  only on the model specific parts.
- Add the Sony init sequence for IMX662.
- Check the init sequence for IMX675 (I'm waiting on a datasheet).
- Update the 2 lane mode handling of HMAX. IMX662 can achieve the
  same maximum framerate in 2 lane mode with a link freq of 594MHz
  or greater, and I suspect others can do so too.
- Hopefully add IMX585 (8MPix) to the supported list, and Jai has
  mentioned IMX676 (12MPix) as well.

I wanted to confirm that there aren't any major objections before
doing those cleanups though.

For anyone testing on a Pi, I've thrown a branch at [2] which includes
overlays for each. I've tested with modules from Soho Enterprises,
but there seem to be a few different vendors around.
