Add a '/* fall through */' comment here.

Needs some explanation as to what master and slave mean here.

Add a comment that these HSYNC/VSYNC bits are ignored for BT656.

Add a comment that this is also valid for BT1120 (basically that's BT656 but
updated for HDTV).

I am, like Laurent and Sakari, unhappy with s_mbus_config. As they say, this
should be passed through platform data.

I also understand that you want to standardize this part of soc-camera.

What about this: when we convert the soc-camera sensors to this API, then it
is a requirement that they also support setting the bus config through
platform_data. That shouldn't be hard. And the ops above should be marked in the
comments as for soc-camera backwards compatibility only. I.e. OK to use for
current soc-camera users, but not for new products.

This at least gives us a transition path, as I really hope that exising soc-camera
platform files are converted to use the platform_data method.

Regards,

	Hans
