Hi Yuji,

Thank you for the patch.

Nitpicking, s/registers/Registers/ in the two lines above as you
capitalize the descriptions below.

I would write

    description:
      CSI-2 input port, with a single endpoint connected to the CSI-2
      transmitter.

s/lines/lanes/

You can drop this line, it's already handled by video-interfaces.yaml.

If only 2 or 4 data lanes are supported, shouldn't minItems be 2 ?

Can the CSI-2 receiver reorder the data lanes ? If not, I think you can
write

            items:
              - const: 1
              - const: 2
              - const: 3
              - const: 4

s/line/lane/

> +            const: 0

I would also add

          clock-noncontinuous: true
          link-frequencies: true

to indicate that the above two properties are used by this device.

Also, mark the properties that are required:

        required:
          - data-lanes
          - clock-lanes

I'm wondering, though, if clock-lanes shouldn't be simply omitted. If
the hardware doesn't support any other option than using lane 0 for the
clock lane (as in, no lane remapping), then you can drop the clock-lanes
property completely.

Does the hardware support any other bus type ? If not, you can drop the
bus-type. If it does, bus-type should be added to the binding, with the
value set to "const: 4".
