For what it's worth I've got another test setup for IMX8MM CSI
capture. I have a Raspberry Pi Camera module v2 connected to an
imx8mm-venice-gw73xx board. This is a IMX219 8.28MP camera with a
4-lane CSI connection.

Putting Adam's patch 'arm64: dts: imx8mm: Add CSI nodes' as well as
the 'blk-ctl series on top of 5.15 and adding support to my dt via:

commit 87f908a57f48bd7375113991434c2923d65506ac (HEAD -> v5.15-venice)
Author: Tim Harvey <tharvey@gateworks.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 27 15:45:23 2021 -0700

    arm64: dts: imx8mm-venice-gw73xx: add rpi camera module v2

    Add support for rpi camera module v2 which is an IMX219 8MP module:
     - https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/camera/camera-v2-schematics.pdf
     - has its own on-board 24MHz osc so no clock required from baseboard
     - pin 11 enables 1.8V and 2.8V LDO which is connected to
       GW73xx MIPI_GPIO4 (IMX8MM GPIO1_IO1). imx219 driver does not
       support powerdown-gpios and using gpio1 as reset-gpios

While the IMX219 supports up to 4 MIPI CSI2 lanes and a variety of
resolutions up to 8MP, the IMX219 driver (drivers/media/i2c/imx219.c)
currently supports only 2 lanes, and a few different resolutions
including 1080p@30fps (cropped FOV), 1640x1232@30fps (2x2 binned),
640x480@30fps (cropped) with RAW8 and RAW10 formats.

I'm setting up the pipeline like this:
media-ctl --links "'imx219 2-0010':0->'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]"
media-ctl -v -V "'imx219 2-0010':0 [fmt:SRGGB10/640x480 field:none]"
media-ctl -v -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SRGGB10/640x480 field:none]"

and capture:
gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src num-buffers=1 !
video/x-bayer,format=rggb,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1 !
filesink location=test

The above hangs after:
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0.GstPad:src: caps =

I've tried Laurent's 'media: imx: imx7_mipi_csis: Set dual pixel mode
for RAW formats' patch with the same results.

Let me know if any of you have some ideas here.
