I have seen comments from Rob in the past that the binding should not document the limitations of the driver. But anyway, one can infer from the current binding that only CSI2 is supported for now, it's just stating it explicitly makes me doubtful! > > > > > > + > > > > +Required Properties: > > > > +- compatible: Should be "sony,imx290" > > > > +- reg: I2C bus address of the device > > > > +- clocks: Reference to the xclk clock. > > > > +- clock-names: Should be "xclk". > > > > +- clock-frequency: Frequency of the xclk clock. > > > > > > ...in Hz. > > > > > > > Ack. > > > > > > +- vdddo-supply: Sensor digital IO regulator. > > > > +- vdda-supply: Sensor analog regulator. > > > > +- vddd-supply: Sensor digital core regulator. > > > > + > > > > +Optional Properties: > > > > +- reset-gpios: Sensor reset GPIO > > > > + > > > > +The imx290 device node should contain one 'port' child node with > > > > +an 'endpoint' subnode.

Sensor works with 2/4 lanes but the driver only handles 4 for now. Will add the check in driver. Thanks, Mani > -- > Regards, > > Sakari Ailus
