Re: [RFC 1/5] v4l: subdev: Add MIPI CSI-2 PHY to frame desc

Hi Jacopo.

Sorry, for some reason linux-media messages aren't coming through to
me at the moment.

I'm interested mainly for tc358743 rather than adv748x, but they want
the very similar functionality.
I'll try to create patches for that source as well.

If we're adding extra information, then can I suggest that the
clock-noncontinuous flag is also added?
If you've got muxed CSI2 buses (eg via the FSA642 [1] as a trivial
CSI2 switch), then there is nothing stopping one source wanting
continuous clocks, and one not. Encoding it in the receiver's DT node
therefore doesn't work for one of the sources. Duplication of that
definition between source and receiver has always seemed a likely
source of errors to me, but I'm the relative newcomer here.
