The name is very generic. There are Alvium camera modules that have a
GMSL or FPD-Link interface, and I'm pretty sure those will require a
different driver. I would add module-specific compatible strings (e.g.
"alliedvision,alvium-1500c", ...) here, with a generic fallback.
"alliedvision,alvium" isn't good as it won't cover GMSL or FPD-Link,
maybe "alliedvision,alvium-csi2" would be an option.

Reading the Alvium CSI-2 Cameras User Guide, I don't see any powerdown
or reset pin on the 22-pin connector. Am I missing something ? There are
however two GPIOs (in addition to the I2C signals that are also
documented as GPIOs), do you plan to support those ?

Add "-us" to the property name to indicate the unit.
This is a vendor-specific property, and should thus have a vendor
prefix.
A longer description is needed, from that single line I have no idea
what the property does exactly.

Why is the rotation restricted to 0 or 180 ? Someone could mount the
module with 90 degrees rotation, shouldn't the DT bindings allow
describing that ?
You need a property for the vcc-ext-in supply.

The "alliedvision" prefix is missing from
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.yaml.

I'd drop pinctrl, it makes the example longer without adding much value.
