Please see drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fwnode.c around line 218.
The code there sets bus_type if it's UNKNOWN

    if (bus_type == V4L2_MBUS_UNKNOWN)
        vep->bus_type = V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_DPHY;

So setting "bus-type" in dt is not necessary, even if it makes things
more explicit from dt side. I don't think we'll ever get UNKNOWN here in
camss.
