Hi Laurent,

Thanks for the review!

There are situations where the actual pins for parallel (port@0) are missing
and the controller is dedicated to its mipi csi-2 bridge (port@1), cases where
the two are present and cases where the mipi csi-2 bridge doesn't exist.
So all in all it's really legit that only one port may be defined.

Yes I agree on both points. I guess that should be a:

oneOf:
- required:
- ports
- required:
- port

(but feel free to correct me).

The double-space before /* Rising */ or something with the heading indent?
