Ok, will do.

It may be that we need a different approach to the bus width setting in
the longer term. For example the mt9m001 can support any thinkable bus
width of 1 to inf. bits. This depends on the hardware designer who wired
up the connection and not the physical count of data lines the chip has.
I have no idea how to implement this though.
