* Gen2
I can't find DATA12-15 in the datasheet I have, where did you find them?
I'm looking at Tables 26.3, 26.4 and 26.5 on v1.0 of the Gen2 datasheet.
But yes on Gen2 the VIN driver supports capturing from these data pins.
* Gen3
Currently CSI-2 are the only supported input method for the Gen3
patches. It would be possible with a small hack to run the Gen2 driver
on Gen3 and have it try and use the DATA pins, but this is not tested as
prior to V3M we had no device to test this on as the DATA pins where all
routed to EXIO connectors.
There have been some talks about adding support for this to the driver,
I know Jacopo posted a patch-set a while ago for this but I have not
tested it. Looking at the Gen3 Table 26.8.1 it sure looks like all
DATA lines DATA0-23 could be used on some SoCs to capture 24 bit RGB and
YCbCr.
