The purpose of the data-lanes and clock-lanes properties is to describe lane 
assignment for hardware that supports lane routing. As far as I know the 
OV5640 doesn't support lane routing and has dedicated pins for the clock and 
data lanes. The data-lanes and clock-lanes properties should probably not be 
specified at all.
