Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] media: camss: Add support for C-PHY configuration
 on Qualcomm platforms

# Short summary

This patch series extends the Qualcomm CAMSS (Camera Subsystem),
including CSID and CSIPHY components, to support C-PHY mode configuration.

# Background and motivation

Modern smartphone cameras increasingly rely on MIPI C-PHY rather than 
D-PHY, thanks to its higher data throughput and signal efficiency.
As a result, many OEMs adopt C-PHY interfaces for main (rear) cameras on
Qualcomm-based devices.

Until now, mainline Linux lacked C-PHY configuration support for Qualcomm
chipsets, preventing bring-up of primary camera sensors on several
Snapdragon platforms. This series closes that gap.

 - Introduces C-PHY configuration support for the CAMSS driver stack,
   covering both CSID and CSIPHY blocks.
 - Successfully enables C-PHY operation on the Snapdragon 845 platform.
 - Tested on OnePlus 6 and 6T phones running mainline Linux,
   using the Sony IMX519 main camera sensor.
 - The new configuration allows other chipsets versionsto enable C-PHY by
   simply adding corresponding sensor driver support and csiphy
   initialization data, following the example set for sdm845.

With this patch series, mainline Linux gains working C-PHY support for
Snapdragon 845, paving the way for improved main camera functionality
across many Qualcomm-based devices. The groundwork also simplifies
future enablement efforts for additional SoCs and sensors.

Until merged, the series will be also available at:

Changes in v3:
- Make lanes_enable return sucess or error, since I couldn't move the
  configuration to the _init.
- Dropped R-b tags on
  "media: qcom: camss: Initialize lanes after lane configuration is available"
  as I changed formatting.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251204-qcom-cphy-v2-0-6b35ef8b071e@ixit.cz

Changes in v2:
- This is still WIP patch series, thus I wanted to publish already
  changed parts to get feedback regarding to the direction of patchset.
- When switch to using odd bits, zeroed val which was left unitialized in v1.
- Accidentally missed archs added back in the commit moving lane regs to
  new location.
- Remove commit with reverting check for only D-PHY is supported and
  adjusted the check to also account for C-PHY.
- Documented link frequency calculation with defines. (Casey)
- Changed the cphy boolean to phy_cfg enum in the camss/camss-csiphy.
  (Brian)
- Added patch for csiphy-3ph enablement for sm7280 from Luca as I'm
  meanwhile trying to bring up the C-PHY sensor on FairPhone 5.
- Merged these two commits together
    csiphy-3ph: Enable sdm845 C-PHY sequence
    csiphy-3ph: Add Gen2 v1.1 MIPI CSI-2 CPHY init
  merged R-b.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251109-qcom-cphy-v1-0-165f7e79b0e1@ixit.cz
