AFAICT it would be a completely seperate node, since they have different address
spaces, clocks and reset controls. So there's no possibility of confusion.

According to Yong, CSI0 is tied internally to some unknown MIPI CSI2-receiver,
which is the undocumented part. CSI1 has its parallel data pins exposed to the
outside.
