And that's what we want....

Actually this won't impact the VIN configuration as this is the
'remote endpoint' from VIN perspective and the properties used to
configure the interface are the ones in the 'local endpoint'.

The VIN driver does not parse them, so there is no value in having
them there, if not confusing people as it happened to me reading the
Gen2 DT.

Exactly.

On a side note. I have not seen a way to configure the pixel clock
sampling level in the interface datasheet. The register used to
configure synchronism signals polarities is VnDMR2, and there I read
we can configure HSYNC/VSYNC and CLOCKENB (which is data enable, not
pixel clock) polarities. Is it configured through some other
register?

Oh I see. SW-49 to SW-52 enables the HDMI input, SW53-SW54 CVBS one.
And actually, reading the 'initial setting of slide switches' in the
Draak board manual, it turns out that the board default configuration
is with CVBS input selected... What should we do here? reflect
defaults in the DT, or prioritize HDMI?

Thanks
