Yes. Will fix.

Sounds good; I'll use that.

I did this somewhat intentionally, because the hardware documentation
is secret and the only clue about the clocks comes from what is
actually implemented in the driver.

I think I can still improve it somehow though, without too much risk of
stating things incorrectly.

Thanks, will fix in next patch version.

Hard to tell, given Marvell won't publish the documentation.

The driver seems to have some rudimentary support for bus-type of
<V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_DPHY>, but I have no idea whether it's on MMP2
hardware. The 16x documentation, that may or may not be relevant, only
lists parallel formats.

I'd prefer not to take risks of making wrong guesses and don't list I
can not verify to be correct.

There are points above I have not responded to. I'll address them in
the next version of the patch.

Thank you
