So this means that not specifying non-continous will now enforce
continuous mode on existing devices ?

Are there any implications to that? I know there are quite a few users
of the sensor on Raspberry Pi for instance.

I think it should be fine though.

I can't find this in my datasheet, so no specific comment on the
register I'm afraid. Did you get this from the vendor or is it an
assumption from other sony drivers?

I assume you can measurably detect that this register impacts the clock
on a CSI scope or such perhaps from the receiver?

So even with all that I think this appears to be correct. I'll test it
more when I can but otherwise:
