My plan is to look at VIN for Gen3 once Gen2 support is done. I have 
somewhat tried to keep the new driver prepared for Gen3. I have 
separating the Gen2 scaler och clipper out in its own corner since this 
will be different on Gen3.

My understanding is however that Gen3 don't provide UDS blocks 
(scaler+clipper) to all VIN instances. And the VIN instances that have 
access to a UDS block have to share it with one other VIN instance (only 
one user at a time). How to describe this in DT in a good way I do not 
yet know. If you have any ideas here or know more I would be glad to 
hear it, I have not yet started any work for Gen3.

My initial plan for Gen3 enablement is to ignore the UDS blocks all 
together. I feel there is enough to adapt VIN driver and get both the 
CSI2 and sensor driver to work to be able to test the whole chain 
without worrying about UDS too.
