Is that polarity even configurable ?

The OMAP3 ISP CCDC is very fragile when the input signals don't match exactly 
what it expects. This is partly caused by the driver implementation, I believe 
we could do better, but it's been a long time since I looked at that code.

One possible debugging option is to check how much data the CCDC has written 
to memory (if any). If I remember correctly the SBL_CCDC_WR_* registers can 
help there, the target address they store should be incremented as data is 
written to memory.
