Would you be opposed to calling this "capture-subsystem" instead of
"imx-media"? We already use "fsl,imx-display-subsystem" and
"fsl,imx-gpu-subsystem" for the display and GPU compound devices.

This is a clever method to get better frame timestamps. Too bad about
the routing requirements. Can this be used on Nitrogen6X?

I think this should get an additional "snps,dw-mipi-csi2" compatible,
since the only i.MX6 specific part is the bolted-on IPU2CSI gasket.

Note that hsi_tx is incorrectly named. CCGR3[CG8] just happens to be the
shared gate bit that gates the HSI clocks as well as the MIPI
"ac_clk_125m", "cfg_clk", "ips_clk", and "pll_refclk" inputs to the mipi
csi-2 core, but we are missing shared gate clocks in the clock tree for
these.
Both cfg_clk and pll_refclk are sourced from video_27m, so "cfg" ->
video_27m seems fine.
But I don't get "dphy". Which input clock would that correspond to?
"pll_refclk?"
Also the pixel clock input is a gate after aclk_podf (which we call
eim_podf), not aclk_sel (eim_sel).
