Add a new MIPI CSI2 driver in DPHY mode initially. The entire set of
existing CAMSS CSI PHY init sequences are imported in order to save time
and effort in later patches.

The following devices are supported in this drop:
"qcom,x1e80100-csi2-phy"

In-line with other PHY drivers the process node is included in the name.
Data-lane and clock lane positioning and polarity selection via newly
amended struct phy_configure_opts_mipi_dphy{} is supported.

The Qualcomm 3PH class of PHYs can do both DPHY and CPHY mode. For now only
DPHY is supported.

In porting some of the logic over from camss-csiphy*.c to here its also
possible to rationalise some of the code.

In particular use of regulator_bulk and clk_bulk as well as dropping the
seemingly useless and unused interrupt handler.

The PHY sequences and a lot of the logic that goes with them are well
proven in CAMSS and mature so the main thing to watch out for here is how
to get the right sequencing of regulators, clocks and register-writes.

The register init sequence table is imported verbatim from the existing
CAMSS csiphy driver. A follow-up series will rework the table to extract
the repetitive per-lane pattern into a loop.

Why CSI2_DEFAULT_CLK_LN is set to 7, what does it mean and how is it used?

Since "7" is a meaningless number in the context, I believe it's practically
not used at all, and if so, 'clock-lanes' property should be just removed.
