[RFC V2 0/5] arm64: dts: imx8mm: Enable CSI and OV5640 Camera

[Adam Ford <aford173@gmail.com>]

The imx8mm appears to have both a CSI bridge and mipi-csi-2 drivers.  With
those enabled, both the imx8mm-evk and imx8mm-beacon boards should be able
use an OV5640 camera.

The mipi-csi2 driver sets the clock frequency to 333MHz, so the clock parent
of the CSI1 must be reparented to a faster clock.  On the custom NXP kernel,
they use IMX8MM_SYS_PLL2_1000M, so that is done in the device tree to match.

With the CSI and mipi_csi2 drivers pointing to an OV5640 camera, the media
pipeline can be configured with the following:

    media-ctl --links "'ov5640 1-003c':0->'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]"

The camera and various nodes in the pipeline can be configured for UYVY:
    media-ctl -v -V "'ov5640 1-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none]"
    media-ctl -v -V "'csi':0 [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none]"

With that, the media pipeline looks like:

When configured, gstreamer can be used to capture 1 frame and store it to a file.

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src num-buffers=1 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY,width=640,height=480,framerate=60/1 ! filesink location=test

Unfortunately, the video capture never appears to happen.  No errors occur, not
interrupts are recorded and no errors are recorded.

If anyone has any insight as to what might be wrong, I'd like feedback.
I posted a device tree that I beleive goes with the newer imx8mm-evk, but
I do not have this hardware, so I cannot test it.
