Linux detail that is n/a for bindings.

Bindings describe h/w blocks, not drivers.

All interesting, but irrelavent to the binding other than the part about 
node name. Reword to just state the requirements to get the firmware to 
ignore things.

For upstream, I don't think we care to support that. We don't need 2 
bindings.

_clock is redundant.

Just refer to docs for standard properties. Just add any info on limits 
of values like number of cells.

I thought the node had to be called csi0 or csi1. The label (csi1) will 
be gone from the compiled dtb.

Don't need these with a single endpoint.

Don't show status in examples.
