+* Omnivision OV9650/9652/9655 CMOS sensor
+
+The Omnivision OV965x sensor support multiple resolutions output, such as
+CIF, SVGA, UXGA. It also can support YUV422/420, RGB565/555 or raw RGB
+output format.
+
+Required Properties:
+- compatible: should be one of
+	"ovti,ov9650"
+	"ovti,ov9652"
+	"ovti,ov9655"
+- clocks: reference to the mclk input clock.
I wonder why you have removed the clock-frequency property?

In some situations the camera driver must be able to tell the clock source
which frequency it wants to see.

For example we connect the camera to an OMAP3-ISP (image signal processor) and
there it is assumed that camera modules know the frequency and set the clock, e.g.:

http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.4/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/i2c/nokia,smia.txt#L52
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v3.14/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/i2c/mt9p031.txt

If your clock is constant and defined elsewhere we should make this
property optional instead of required. But it should not be missing.

Here is a hack to get it into your code:

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=blobdiff;f=drivers/media/i2c/ov9650.c;h=b7ab46c775b9e40087e427ae0777e9f7c283694a;hp=1846bcbb19ae71ce686dade320aa06ce2e429ca4;hb=ca85196f6fd9a77e5a0f796aeaf7aa2cde60ce91;hpb=8a71f21b75543a6d99102be1ae4677b28c478ac9
Here is how it is used on my DT, the camera clock is a fixed crystal 24M 
clock:

+	clocks {
+		clk_ext_camera: clk-ext-camera {
+			#clock-cells = <0>;
+			compatible = "fixed-clock";
+			clock-frequency = <24000000>;
+		};
+	};
[...]
+	ov9655: camera@30 {
+		compatible = "ovti,ov9655";
+		reg = <0x30>;
+		pwdn-gpios = <&gpioh 13 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+		clocks = <&clk_ext_camera>;
+		status = "okay";
+
+		port {
+			ov9655_0: endpoint {
+				remote-endpoint = <&dcmi_0>;
+			};
+		};
+	};

quoted
+
+Optional Properties:
+- resetb-gpios: reference to the GPIO connected to the resetb pin, if any.
+- pwdn-gpios: reference to the GPIO connected to the pwdn pin, if any.
Here I wonder why you did split that up into two gpios. Each "*-gpios" can have
multiple entries and if one is not used, a 0 can be specified to make it being ignored.

But it is up to DT maintainers what they prefer: separate single gpios or a single gpio array.
I have followed the ov2640 binding, which have the same pins naming 
(resetb/pwdn).
As far as I see, separate single gpios are commonly used in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/i2c/

What I am missing to support the GTA04 camera is the control of the optional "vana-supply".
So the driver does not power up the camera module when needed and therefore probing fails.

   - vana-supply: a regulator to power up the camera module.

Driver code is not complex to add:

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=blobdiff;f=drivers/media/i2c/ov9650.c;h=1846bcbb19ae71ce686dade320aa06ce2e429ca4;hp=c0819afdcefcb19da351741d51dad00aaf909254;hb=8a71f21b75543a6d99102be1ae4677b28c478ac9;hpb=6db55fc472eea2ec6db03833df027aecf6649f88
Yes, I saw it in your code, but as I don't have any programmable power 
supply on my setup, I have not pushed this commit.
And I also don't have a clock to enable/disable -fixed clock-, I need to 
check the behaviour when disabling/enabling a fixed clock, I will give 
it a try.
