Hi Archit,
Many thanks for this documentation add-on.
I wonder if an extra example of "2 DSI hosts driving a dual-channel DSI
peripheral controlled by the mipi bus" could be useful? well, I am not
really convinced it is necessary and maybe this extra example could be
added later when someone will meet the case... and I should have sent
this comment on v1 (sorry for the delay).
