Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

Where does "automotive platform" come from ? How about just "The IMI RDACM20 
is a ..." ?

Seems better here :-)

Sorry for messing up the nice ascii-art with linewraps :-(

I think you should document that the RDACM20 DT node should be a direct child 
of the GMSL deserializer's I2C bus corresponding to the GMSL link that the 
camera is attached to.
