Ohh yes S_INPUT could be used to switch inputs. But how do we decide
YDS needs to be enabled, for example with the below dts say vin3 is
parallel bus split into 2x 8-bit bus one connected to a ov5640 sensor
and other connected to ov7725 sensor. Should we use data-shift
property for the second vin endpoint (vin3ep1) to enable YDS ?
&i2c3 {
pinctrl-0 = <&i2c3_pins>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
status = "okay";
clock-frequency = <400000>;
ov7725@21 {
status = "disabled";
compatible = "ovti,ov7725";
reg = <0x21>;
clocks = <&mclk_cam4>;
port {
ov7725_3: endpoint {
bus-width = <8>;
bus-type = <6>;
remote-endpoint = <&vin3ep0>;
};
};
};
ov5640@3c {
status = "okay";
compatible = "ovti,ov5640";
reg = <0x3c>;
clocks = <&mclk_cam4>;
clock-names = "xclk";
port {
ov5640_3: endpoint {
bus-width = <8>;
bus-type = <6>;
remote-endpoint = <&vin3ep1>;
};
};
};
};
&vin3 {
status = "okay";
pinctrl-0 = <&vin3_pins>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
port {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
vin3ep0: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&ov7725_3>;
bus-width = <8>;
};
vin3ep1: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&ov5640_3>;
bus-width = <8>;
};
};
};

That sounds like a good idea.
