It will be better understood by a person behind an oscilloscope who is
trying to figure out the logic behind dts, csi driver, csi controller,
wire voltage levels by just reading device tree definitions. Because
dts must be changed in order to connect source / sink devices.

I'm sorry too, maybe that is not clear. Confusion is here:

I'm totally confused here. That `hsync-active = <0>` -> `href_pol: 1`
was found by `printk()`-like debugging.

(This can be not relevant or incorrect) What was found also is that
active high horizontal wire (whatever it is called in datasheet, PCB,
dts or driver) from e.g. FPGA corresponds to `href_pol: 1` to
correctly read image lines sent.

Thanks!
