The D-PHY transmitter initialisation *only* happens as part of the
wake-up from standby to streaming mode.  That is because Sony expect
that you program the sensor, and then when you switch it to streaming
mode, it computes the D-PHY parameters from the PLL, input clock rate
(you have to tell it the clock rate in 1/256 MHz units), number of
lanes, and other parameters.

It is possible to program the D-PHY parameters manually, but that
doesn't change the above sequence in any way (it just avoids the
chip computing the values, it doesn't result in any change of
behaviour on the bus.)

The IMX219 specifications are clear: the clock and data lines are
held low (LP-00 state) after releasing the hardware enable signal.
There's a period of chip initialisation, and then you can access the
I2C bus and configure it.  There's a further period of initialisation
where charge pumps are getting to their operating state.  Then, you
set the streaming bit, and a load more initialisation happens before
the CSI bus enters LP-11 state and the first frame pops out.  When
entering standby, the last frame is completed, and then the CSI bus
enters LP-11 state.

SMIA are slightly different - mostly following what I've said above,
but the clock and data lines are tristated after releasing the
xshutdown signal, and they remain tristated until the clock line
starts toggling before the first frame appears.  There appears to
be no point that the clock line enters LP-11 state before it starts
toggling.  When entering standby, the last frame is completed, and
the CSI bus enters tristate mode (so floating.)  There is no way to
get these sensors into LP-11 state.
