I'm a bit puzzled on this.

ISL are output on a different data type than regular data. They are
output with 0x12, which translates to MIPI_CSI2_DT_EMBEDDED_8B in V4L2.
Your receiver should drop these frames regardless as it only waits for
data and not ISL. Outputting them doesn't affect sensor timings either.

I guess there could be an issue on the receiver side ? Maybe your
receiver is ignoring data types and completes the frame with ISL data,
effectively filling up the DMA ?
