Hi Dan,

not sure to follow you.

csi2rx_probe()
   --> csi2rx_get_resources()
      -->  ...
           dev_cfg = readl(csi2rx->base + CSI2RX_DEVICE_CFG_REG);
           ...
           csi2rx->max_lanes = dev_cfg & 7;
           if (csi2rx->max_lanes > CSI2RX_LANES_MAX) {
              dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Invalid number of lanes: %u\n",
                      csi2rx->max_lanes);
              return -EINVAL;
           }

So I guess, that we can trust max_lanes because of the 'if (... > 
CSI2RX_LANES_MAX)' check.

Did I miss something?
