Hi Geert,

Thank you for the review.

Good point, will move the vin and ov5640 nodes to
r8a7742-iwg21d-q7-dbcm-ov5640.dtsi and similarly add vin and ov7725
nodes to r8a7742-iwg21d-q7-dbcm-ov7725.dtsi and by default shall
include r8a7742-iwg21d-q7-dbcm-ov5640.dtsi in
r8a7742-iwg21d-q7-dbcm-ca.dts file.(Will keep the mclk_camx and
pimuxes in r8a7742-iwg21d-q7-dbcm-ca.dts file)

my bad should have dropped this.
