I'm a bit confused about the description. My recollection is that both 
CSI TX0 and TX1 can be programmed just fine from the first I2C 
interface. Is that not so?

Also, even if the driver supports both CSI TXes, at the moment v4l2 
framework doesn't work with it, at least in many cases. E.g. if you 
connect one TX to a CSIRX, the other TX to another CSIRX, and those 
CSIRXes are independent, have their own media graphs, it's not going to 
work at all.

So I guess my question is, what's the target here, how did you test 
this, etc?
