I guess we can see it as both. It seems to be the exact same register
set, except for the fact that the first instance has that ISP in
addition, and several channels, as you pointed out in your other mail.

What these channels are is not exactly clear. It looks like it's
related to the BT656 interface where you could interleave channel
bytes over the bus. I haven't really looked into it, and it doesn't
look like we have any code (or hardware) able to do that though.

Ok, I'll remove it.

Ditto :)

It's not really related to the CSI device in that case but the sensor,
so I'll just leave it out.

Thanks!
