Thank you, and sorry for the slow reply. Your tag is the only one that
covers the binned readout and the PSYS path, which is how the Pro 7+ front
camera is actually used, so it filled a real gap in the coverage. The
point about the CSI-2 error signature being identical to the 0x2d build over
the same five capture cycles is also the cleanest confirmation so far that
bits 0, 2 and 3 were doing nothing.

The series was applied to media-committers next on 2026-09-11, and your tag
did not make it into the commits. I have pointed Sakari at your message in
the follow-up fix, in case that commit can still be amended.

You were also right about the property name, but I was slow and the
literal went in as 8e3def7bf410 with the bug intact. I have sent the fix as
a follow-up, with you as Reported-by:

  media: ipu-bridge: Keep the clock-noncontinuous property name out of rodata

It routes the name through ipu_property_names exactly as you suggested, so it
matches what you already had applied locally when you ran the rebind test.
One detail: the dangling pointer does not depend on your series at all. 
The nodes are already never unregistered on a successful init, so the literal
dangles in the tree as it stands today.

Your 1/2 is still the fix for the remaining two, the link-frequencies values
and the lens-focus name, both of which are still literals in next.

Thanks again for the review and the testing.

Fernando
