Remove the reference to the > synopsys binding and just leave 'IDI interface' which is undocumented ? mmm, I see... I was hoping it was a simple CSI-2 tx :) The Synopsys proposed bindings do not tell much as they don't describe the csi2host output port. I would just mention "Synopsys IDI compatible interface" without mentioning a file that cannot be accessed :) Thanks j > > Eugen > > > > >> + > >> + CSI2DC supports one 'port' node as sink pad with parallel interface.
