Hi Sakari,

Thanks for the review!

Hmm... I'm not sure here. Bindings should describe the hardware and not the
limitations of the driver. Here as you said, the sensor can output frames
in 3 different modes/formats but the driver only supports CSI2. I can add a
note in the driver but not sure whether dt-binding is the right place or not!

Not much other than, clock/data lanes.

We can change the order and the example here illustrates how it has been
wired in FRAMOS module. If I change the lane order like you said, it won't
work.

Ack.
