Note that the Synopsys core in the i.MX6 is a differently configured
Synopsys core from the core as described in the bindings at [1].

Russell King provided more information on the differences between these
cores at [2]. They are essentially different devices.

So perhaps the "snps,dw-mipi-csi2" compatibility needs to be removed
from this binding, for now, until this driver is moved to drivers/media/
and is made compatible with other MIPI CSI-2 Synopsys cores with
different configurations.
