Hi Ramiro,

Thank you for the patch.

And what does it do after receiving the stream ? A more detailed description 
would be useful. Is there any public documentation for this IP core ?

Is that fixed at synthesis time or configurable at runtime ?

What are IPI and IDI ?

A PHY for what ?

We need more details than that, this is impossible to review, sorry.

An example would be nice.

Then let's add it later :-) We don't want to design incomplete transient DT 
bindings.

This is a DT binding documentation, drivers are irrelevant. You should 
describe the hardware only.

More information is needed, based on this document I can't tell what the 
"CSI-2 host video device" is.
