Hi Bryan,

While rebasing Glymur on the following series I found an issue —
Could you please review the changes below.

Tested on
1. Glymur CRD with OV08X40, working as expected.
2. Monaco EVK with IMX577(legacy path) — working as expected.

Picked up following for testing:
- PHY driver: Add a CSI2 MIPI DPHY driver [v14]
- CAMSS PHY API: Add dt-bindings and PHY updates for CAMSS on x1e80100 silicon [v13]
- Below patchset
- Glymur DT binding/DTS: locally

Holding off formal submission until the above stabilise.

Subject: [PATCH] media: qcom: camss: Read lane config from PHY endpoint for
PHY API path

In the new PHY API topology the CAMSS endpoint carries only port/ID
information. The bus-type and data-lane configuration are described on
the PHY node's sensor-side endpoint (port@0), not on the CAMSS endpoint.

So I don't think this model is in-keep with established DT practices - if a driver needs to parse a property it needs to have that property in the device node it handles.

So with data-lanes per existing camss bindings in the IFE/CSID node everything though should work as-is for you.

Add a phy_in parameter to camss_parse_endpoint_node(). Extract csiphy_id
from the CAMSS endpoint port number and read bus-type and lane properties
from phy_in. Check fwnode_device_is_available() on the PHY node and skip
disabled PHYs. Fix missing fwnode_handle_put() on the disabled-PHY early
exit path. For legacy DTS phy_in is the CAMSS endpoint itself so existing
behaviour is preserved.
