What do you suggest - setting it to the highest CSI2 bus speed that
it supports?  That's likely to be over the maximum data rate specified
for iMX6Q if it's wired up using four lanes.


Also, as I've already said, I think that powering on the sensor just
because it's got an enabled media-controller link is a silly idea.

Right now, the only way of using the imx6 capture stuff is to manually
configure it with media-ctl, which means that happens either at boot
due to a custom boot script, or when you first use it (by manually
running a script.)

This results in the sensor staying powered from that point onwards,
wasting power unnecessarily.
