In the meantime, I also realised that we need to separate MIPI C-PHY and
D-PHY from each other. So I think we'll need that property for CSI-2
nevertheless. How about:

0 - autodetect based on other properties (MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY, parallel or Bt656)
1 - MIPI CSI-2 C-PHY
2 - MIPI CSI1
3 - CCP2 

I wouldn't add a separate entry for the parallel case as there are plenty of
existing DT binaries with parallel interface configuration without phy-type
property. They will need to be continue to be supported anyway, so there's
not too much value in adding a type for that purpose.

I do find this a bit annoying; we should have had something like phy-type
from day one rather than try to guess which phy is being used...
