Hi Fabio,
  thanks for pointing Jagan to my series, but..

... unfortunately it does not :(

I've been able to test on the same platform where Jagan has reported
this issue, and the CSI-2 bus still fails to startup properly...

I do not have CSI-2 receiver driver documentation for the other platform
I am testing on and where my patches improved stability, but the i.MX6 error
reported by Jagan could be useful to help debugging what's wrong with the
serial bus initialization on that platform.

The error comes from register MIPI_CSI_PHY_STATE of the i.MX6 MIPI_CSI-2
interface and reads as:

0x2b0 : BIT(9) -> clock in ULPS state
	BIT(7) -> lane3 in stop state
	BIT(5) -> lane1 in stop state
	BIT(4) -> lane0 in stop state

The i.MX6 driver wants instead that register to be:

0x430 : BIT(10) -> clock in stop state
	BIT(5) -> lane1 in stop state
	BIT(4) -> lane0 in stop state

So indeed it represents a useful debugging tool to have an idea of what's going
on there.

I'm a bit puzzled by the BIT(7) as lane3 is not connected, as ov5640 is a 2
lanes sensor, and I would have a question for Jagan here: has the sensor been
validated with BSP/vendor kernels on that platform? There's a flat cable
connecting the camera module to the main board, and for high speed
differential signals that's maybe not the best possible solution...

Also, anyone interested in my mumbling on the ov5640 MIPI bus
initialization, I've collected some thoughts here:
https://paste.debian.net/1031942/

Any comment is of course welcome, and if I have a confirmation that
the Engicam platform works with that flat cable, I'll keep working on
it..

Thanks
