Hi Ishikawa-san,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm a bit surprised by the lack of clocks.

Now that the CSI-2 receiver is modeled as a separate DT node, I don't
think data-lanes is applicable anymore. The interface between the CSI-2
receiver and the VIIF isn't a CSI-2 bus.

I think you can simplify the bindings by switching from port-base to
port, as you don't need to specify additional properties for the
endpoint:

  port:
    $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/$defs/port
    description:
      CSI-2 input port, with a single endpoint connected to the CSI-2
      transmitter.

Please test this though (by running the DT bindings checks).
