Hi Paul,

Thank you for the patch.

No urgency, but would it be possible to fix this so that the CSI-2
receiver can be connected to the CSI unconditionally in DT ? The
connection exists at the hardware level in the SoC, and should thus
exist here too, regardless of whether or not a sensor is connected.
