So we need to reflect the hardware in device-tree and although yes the
power-down for the CSI_x_xxx pads are all controlled together as a
single group, it does not feel right that we add a pseudo pin called
csix to represent these.

The CSI_x_xxx pads are already in device-tree and so why not add a
property to each of these pads which has the IO rail information for
power-down and voltage-select?
