[v2,1/4] dt-bindings: media: csi2dc: add bindings for microchip csi2dc

Add bindings documentation for microchip CSI2 Demultiplexer controller.

This information should be expressed as a schema.

Better to be part of 'clocks'.

That is every 'reg' prop. Drop.

Looks like only [0-3] is valid.

Unless you need this right now I'd just hard code this to zero in the
driver. You can't have more endpoints for active devices anyway, can you?

Hello Sakari,

You are right, but, the virtual ID must be written in hardware 
registers. So I can take the virtual ID from this property.
Otherwise, if I hardcode this in the driver, another virtual ID would be 
impossible to use without changing the driver. And if the binding is 
accepted without this property, it will be 'set in stone' and difficult 
to change afterwards.

What do you think ?

Hello Rob,

Do you mean that I should add these explanations inside the schema 
properties description ?
Or I should enforce these in some other way ? The schema already 
includes what is written here (for example, const reg 0 for the child 
node, etc.)
Or maybe you wanted to tell me something else ?

Thanks,
Eugen

Hello Sakari,

Could you have a look at my binding, especially this paragraph above. 
This controller that we have requires the Synopsys IDI interface as 
source pad. As this interface is not yet in kernel, do you think it's 
fine to mention it here ? Or how should I proceed ?

In my tests and the example at the end of this binding, I just use the 
port and endpoints without any specific properties.
The CSI2DC will actually wait an async completion (with a notifier) for 
that device to be registered, and then use it as a subdevice. In turn, 
CSI2DC registers a subdev for the next port in pipeline, towards the 
upper level ( the image sensor controller)

However, the connection with the subdevice in this case will likely 
default to parallel, and not be at all in any of the cases in the 
video-interfaces.txt :
- bus-type: data bus type. Possible values are: 

   1 - MIPI CSI-2 C-PHY 

   2 - MIPI CSI1 

   3 - CCP2 

   4 - MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY 

   5 - Parallel 

   6 - Bt.656

as this interface type is actually Synopsys IDI.
Do you think this is fine ?

Thanks,
Eugen
