I'm working on adding support for this on the R40, and it seems with
this SoC the picture is much clearer. It has the same CSI interface
block, but the CCU has the clocks correctly named. We have:

  - CSI_MCLK0
  - CSI_MCLK1
  - CSI_SCLK

in addition to the bus clocks.

The CSI section also explains the clock signals:

    6.1.3.2. Clock Sources
    Two Clocks need to be configured for CSI controller. CSI0/1_MCLK
    provides the master clock for sensor and other devices. CSI_SCLK
    is the top clock for the whole CSI module.

So it would seem the ISP clock we currently have in the DT is simply
the module clock shared by all CSI-related hardware blocks, and the
module clock is bogus.
