That one seems a bit weird. If the input and output ports are using the
same format, what is that "bridge" supposed to be doing?

The unit name should be pretty standard, with the list here:

https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification/blob/master/source/chapter2-devicetree-basics.rst#generic-names-recommendation

there's nothing really standing out for us in that list, but given that
there's dsi, we should stick with csi

Fair enough. What this represents is the internal link (likely a FIFO) between
the two controllers. It is definitely not a MIPI CSI-2 bus but there's no
mbus type for an internal link (probably because it's not a bus after all).

Note that on the CSI controller side, we need the bus-type to be set to 4 for it
to properly select the MIPI CSI-2 input. So it just felt more logical to have
the same on the other side of the endpoint. On the other hand, we can just
remove it on the MIPI CSI-2 controller side since it won't check it and have it
fallback to the unknown mbus type.

But that would make the types inconsistent on the two sides of the link.
I don't think V4L2 will complain about it at the moment, but it would also make
sense that it does eventually.

What do you think?

Then what really surprises me is that the CSI controllers are called "camera",
not "csi". If "camera" is supposed to cover both image sensor and camera sensor
interfaces, it would probably fit MIPI CSI-2 as well.

I see lots of names with -controller for controllers with specific devices
attached, like "nand-controller" or "lcd-controller". Maybe using
"camera-controller" for the CSI and MIPI CSI-2 controllers would make the most
sense, while keeping "camera" for the actual image sensors.

What do you think?

Paul

There's still the same issue though, it doesn't make any sense that a
bridge doesn't change the bus type. If it really did, we wouldn't need
that in the first place.

What you want to check in your driver is whether the subdev you're
connected to has a sink pad that uses MIPI-CSI

If you really want to discuss this, feel free to open a PR for the DT
spec and add it. However, I still think this csi would be best here:
it's neither a camera nor a camera controller

I agree with using 'csi' here as that is at least aligned with 'dsi' 
meaning the host side of the protocol. We've not been consistent here...

You can drop bus-type and clock-lanes (assuming no lane remapping is
supported by the hardware).

Yes I agreee.

I'm not really sure that's possible, but if it is it would indeed be the most
appropriate solution. If it's not, we still need to know that we need to feed
from MIPI CSI-2 so I don't see any other option than report MIPI CSI-2 on both
ends of MIPI CSI-2 controller.

But there's still the question of what media bus type should be reported for
the CSI <-> MIPI CSI-2 link. I'm fine with unknown but we could also add a
generic internal bus type for this case.
