Re: [RFC PATCH v2 12/16] media: i2c: add Maxim GMSL2/3 serializer and deserializer drivers

Hi Cosmin

Awesome work. The initiative to establish a common framework for GMSL 
devices is a great idea.

I believe that we have found few bugs:

> +#define MAX9296A_BACKTOP22(x)			(0x31d * (x) * 0x3)

The first multiplication is wrong and should be replaced with addition:

+#define MAX9296A_BACKTOP22(x)			(0x31d + (x) * 0x3)

The same goes for MAX96724 equivalent macro:

> +#define MAX96724_BACKTOP22(x)			(0x415 * (x) * 0x3)

In MAX96714 driver there is an issue with setting up lane-polarities.

In order to make thing work we had to set

> +	.polarity_on_physical_lanes = true,

To false. So this field is either improperly set for MAX96714, or handling of this case is wrong:

Upon mentioned changes we have successfully tested two GMSL2 
combinations on Raspberry 5 platform:

1. MAX96724 + MAX96717 (only 2 MIPI-CSI2 lanes with single camera due to 
hardware limitations)

2. MAX96714 + MAX96717

We have also been wondering about these registers:

> +#define MAX9296A_DPLL_0(x)			(0x1c00 + ((x) == 0 ? 1 : 2) * 0x100)
> +#define MAX96724_DPLL_0(x)			(0x1c00 + (x) * 0x100)

There are writes to these addresses but we could not find any reference to these in either MAX96714 or MAX96724 datasheets.

Are You willing to add support for mapping MIPI-CSI2 lanes? This is a very convenient feature which comes in handy during HW design.
