Hi Angelo,
You are right this driver does not support C-PHY mode, but some of the
PHYs themselves support BOTH C-PHY AND D-PHY. The idea of `is_cdphy` variable
is to know if the CSI port supports BOTH C-PHY AND D-PHY or only DPHY.
For example mt8365 has 2 PHYs: CSI0 and CSI1. CSI1 support only D-PHY,
while CSI0 can be configured in C-PHY or D-PHY. Registers for CD-PHY and
D-PHY are almost identical, except that CD-PHY compatible has some extra
bitfields to configure properly the mode and the lanes (because supporting
trios for CD-PHY).
If C-PHY support is eventually added into the driver, I think we will need
another variable such as `mode` to know the mode. I was also thinking
of adding a phy argument to determine if the mode is C-PHY or D-PHY.

So here, I don't want to stop the probe if `is_cdphy` variable is set to
true. Does it make sense ?

Regards
Julien
