Apologies for the delay in response and following up, since Pratyush moved out
of TI last year, I will be working on upstreaming and following up on this
series, I have posted a V7 of the series with pending feedback addressed,

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230314115516.667-1-vaishnav.a@xxxxxx/

In the above version, streaming is working and tested on J721E-EVM and AM62-SK
with OV5640 without any issues, in your branch some of the patches are needed
for proper working especially the DPHY reset support, when Pratyush upstreamed
the series initially, the primary device used for testing was J721E Silicon
Revision 1.0, for all newer devices the below patch is also needed:

Thanks and Regards,
