[PATCH v5 1/2] dt-bindings: media: i2c: Add Sony IMX678

[Jai Luthra]

Sony IMX678 is an 8.4 Megapixel (3856x2180) CMOS sensor, that can output
pixels over MIPI CSI-2 bus. Add bindings for it.

Runtime detection for mono vs color variant of this sensor is feasible
by reading a register, but it's not always desirable given the sensor
needs to be powered on for it, potentially flashing a privacy LED or
wasting precious boot time.

The manufacturer or vendor knows which sensor variant they are putting
on their board, so we define the compatible property to expect the
(color/mono) specific name of the sensor, along with a generic fallback.
