Yes I think so: we grab the clock with devm_clk_get which takes a name string
that matches the clock-names property.

I'm a bit confused why we would need to do that in the device-tree rather than
setting the clock rate with clk_set_rate in the driver, like any other driver
does. I think this was discussed before (on the initial ov8865 series) and the
conclusion was that there is no particular reason for media i2c drivers to
behave differently. So I believe this is the correct approach.

I don't understand why bus-type should be dropped because it is constant:
if bus-type is set to something else, the driver will definitely not probe
since we're requesting V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_DPHY for v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse.
So I think it's quite important for the bindings to reflect this.

That's correct so this is indeed not something we can configure.
But shouldn't we instead specift clock-lanes = <0> as a const rather than
getting rid of it?

Ah right, I had missed it. I'm a bit unsure about what I should do with the
information from the driver though: should I refuse to use link frequencies that
are not in the list?

Cheers,
