Hi Maxime,

Apologies for the delayed review. Please see my comments below.

I assume these values are compliant with the earlier spec releases.

How about using the bus frequency instead of the pixel clock? Chances are
that the caller already has that information, instead of calculating it
here?

Nanoseconds may not be precise enough for practical computations on these
values. At 1 GHz, this ends up being precisely 1. At least Intel hardware
has some more precision, I presume others do, too. How about using
picoseconds instead?

How about the LP clock?

Frankly, I have worked with MIPI CSI-2 hardware soon a decade, and the very
few cases where software has needed to deal with these values has been in
form of defaults for a receiver, mostly limiting to clk_settle,
clk_term_en, d_term_en as well as hs_settle. On some hardware, the data
lane specific values can be at least in theory configured separately on
different lanes (but perhaps we could ignore that now).

That doesn't say that it'd be useless to convey these values to the PHY
though. What I'm a little worried about though is what could be the effect
of adding support for this for existing drivers? If you have a new driver,
then there is no chance of regressions.

I can't help noticing that many of the above values end up being unused in
the rest of the patches in the set. I guess that's ok, they come from the
standard anyway and some hardware may need them to be configured.

Then there's the question of where should these values originate from.
Some drivers appear to have a need to obtain one of these values via
firmware, see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/samsung-mipi-csis.txt
. I presume the defaults should be applicable to most cases, and specific
values would need to be defined in the firmware. That means that the
defaults have effectively the property of firmware API, meaning that they
effectively can never be changed. That suggests we should be pretty sure
the defaults are something that should work for the widest possible set of
the hardware.

Extra parentheses.

Ditto.
