I know... but I have a few more comments.

Which port represents CSI0 and which one is CSI1? That needs to be
documented.

How about CSI0? I'd expect at least data-lanes, and clock-lanes as well if
the hardware supports lane mapping.

Could you add that video-interfaces.txt contains documentation of these
properties as well? There's a reference above but only discusses port and
endpoint nodes.

As you support both Bt656 and parallel (with sync signals), you can detect
the interface type from the presence of these properties. I think you
should also say that these properties are not allowed on Bt656. So I'd
change this to e.g.

	(required; parallel-only)
