Sure. Thanks for the ping.

What kind of timing information do you need to configure the receiver?
If you pick a random HDMI configuration it can't be expected to match an
unrelated configuration of a sensor. Generally CSI-2 bus frequency, number
of lanes and horizontal and vertical blanking are enough to calculate what
the hardware needs regarding timing. The received image size is necessary
for other purposes.
Do you see that you'd need something else in addition to that?
