Hi Niklas,

Thank you for the patch.

If my understanding is correct an entry describes a route from a channel of a 
CSI-2 receiver to a VIN, and how to configure the hardware to enable that 
route (in the mask field). Could you expand this single line of documentation 
to explain that more clearly ?

> + * @vin:		Which VIN the CSI-2 and VC describes

VC ? Is that virtual channel ? Isn't that internal to the CSI-2 receiver only 
?

> + * @csi:		VIN internal number for CSI-2 device

Or just "CSI-2 receiver ID" ?

> + * @chan:		Output channel of the CSI-2 receiver. Each R-Car CSI-2

Would "channel" be too long ?

Reading the documentation I'm not sure to understand how this works. In 
particular the mask field documentation isn't clear enough.

You can make this an unsigned int, the compiler will pad the field anyway.

I think it would be clearer to order the fields in "from -> to: configuration" 
order (csi, channel, vin, mask).
