+Synopsys DesignWare CSI-2 Host controller
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This HW block is used to receive image coming from an MIPI CSI-2 compatible
+camera.
And what does it do after receiving the stream ? A more detailed description 
would be useful. Is there any public documentation for this IP core ?
I can add a more detailed description. Also, here is a link to the
documentation, but I'm afraid you might have to register yourself to access it.

CSI-2 Host

CSI-2 Host IPK

quoted
+Required properties:
+- compatible: shall be "snps,dw-mipi-csi"
+- reg		: physical base address and size of the device memory 
mapped
quoted
+		  registers;
+- interrupts	: CSI-2 Host interrupt
+- data-lanes    : Number of lanes to be used
Is that fixed at synthesis time or configurable at runtime ?
The max number is fixed at synthesis time, but you can configure it for lower
values. I added this option here because, although configurable, it's usually a
fixed value.
quoted
+- output-type   : Core output to be used (IPI-> 0 or IDI->1 or BOTH->2)
What are IPI and IDI ?
IPI is Image Pixel Interface and IDI Image Data Interface, these are the two
types of data output support by our CSI-2 Host controller
quoted
+- phys, phy-names: List of one PHY specifier and identifier string (as
defined
+  in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt).
A PHY for what ?
Our controller needs a PHY, in this case a MIPI DPHY, to interact with a CSI-2
receiver (usually a sensor).
quoted
+Optional properties(if in IPI mode):
+- ipi-mode 	: Mode to be used when in IPI(Camera -> 0 or Automatic -> 1)
+- ipi-color-mode: Color depth to be used in IPI (48 bits -> 0 or 16 bits ->
1)
+- ipi-auto-flush: Data auto-flush (1 -> Yes or 0 -> No)
+- virtual-channel: Virtual channel where data is present when in IPI
We need more details than that, this is impossible to review, sorry.
Sure, I'll add more details to the descripton
quoted
+The per-board settings:
+ - port sub-node describing a single endpoint connected to the dw-mipi-csi
+   as described in video-interfaces.txt[1].
An example would be nice.
I'll add an example of how we're using it.

+Synopsys DesignWare CSI-2 Host IPK Media Device
+
+This Media Device at the moment is not totally functional, however it is a
base
+for the future.
Then let's add it later :-) We don't want to design incomplete transient DT 
bindings.
I'm afraid I wasn't completely clear. This setup is fully functional. Actually
this sentence made sense in the past, but no longer does now.

+Synopsys DesignWare CSI-2 Host video device
+
+This driver handles all the video handling part of this platform.
This is a DT binding documentation, drivers are irrelevant. You should 
describe the hardware only.

More information is needed, based on this document I can't tell what the 
"CSI-2 host video device" is.
You're right, I'll add a more detailed description.
