I had code to calculate the number of needed lanes from the bit rate and
link frequency. I did not actually change the D-PHY register value.
And as you pointed out, calculating the number of lanes is not useful
without input from the sensor driver, as some lane configurations might
not be supported.

The tc358743 also currently only implements a fixed rate (of 594 Mbps).
