Hi Frank,

Thanks for your feedback! I looked at the Toradex approach you linked.

In our case, the same connector can also accommodate Basler cameras and
potentially other camera modules in the future, while some of our other
carrier boards use different connectors.

Given these differences, I would prefer to keep the classic approach proposed
in this patch, describing the camera directly in the carrier board DTS.
Do you think we should still use connector bindings in our case?
If so, how would you suggest handling these differences?

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Stefano
