I wasn't aware of that, thank you for the information.

Table 13 documents the maximum frequencies of clocks
MEDIA_CAM1_PIX_CLK_ROOT and MEDIA_CAM2_PIX_CLK_ROOT to be 400/500MHz
(normal/overdrive) and 277/277MHz respectively, so I'd say this affects
the ISI too. I wonder what causes the 266MHz constraint for dual camera
mode.

There's also a constraint of at most 375 MPixel/s aggregate performance
for the two ISP instances, but I don't know if that's due to the memory
bandwidth, or if it is on the input side in which case it may include
blanking and translate directly to clock frequencies. If I had to guess,
I'd say the former.

I agree, we should at least lower the frequency to 400MHz here. Given
that the frequency limit depends on whether one or two cameras are used,
I'm actually tempted to either specify the worst case (2x 266MHz), or
even drop the clock-frequency completely, forcing users to think about
what they need. The driver however silently falls back to a default
frequency of 166MHz when the property isn't set, so developers won't
necessarily immediately notice that something is wrong, or why.

Should I specify 400 MHz and 266 MHz here, or go for the safer option of
266 MHz and 266 MHz ?
