R-Car CSI-2 hardware and driver supports full lane swapping, see the 
LSWAP register and usage of struct rcar_csi2.lane_swap.

I think it's a good idea to extend the binding description to limit the 
data-lanes property to an array of max 4 items where each value use is 
ether a 1, 2, 3 or 4. But it must allow for any combination of the 
values.
