Document the devicetree binding for the Sony IMX585. The schema
covers the CSI-2 data-lanes, the optional 'mono-mode' flag,
and the internal-sync properties used by the driver.

This should be just string enum

And why here is different? BTW, here it is correct.

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:

Hi Will,
Thank you for the patch.

You should add
allOf:
- $ref: /schemas/media/video-interface-devices.yaml#
here to support generic sensor properties. You will need to replace
additionalProperties: false
with
unevaluatedProperties: false
below.

When there's a single clock you can drop clock-names.

The clock-frequency property is frowned upon for sensors in DT. If the
aim is to set the frequency of the clock, it should be done through
assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-rates. If the aim is to convey the
clock frequency to the driver, it should be done by calling
clk_get_rate() in the driver.

You can drop the description, it's always the same for I2C devices.

Does that mean that the sensor supports data lane remapping ? I don't
see it implemented by the driver. If it's not supported by the hardware,
you should use
properties:
data-lanes:
minItems: 1
items:
- const: 1
- const: 2
- const: 3
- const: 4
To guarantee the order.

This seems to be a sensor-level property, not an endpoint property. As
it's not standard, it should also have a vendor prefix, i.e.
sony,sync-mode. I'm wondering, though, if we shouldn't try to
standardize it in video-interface-devices.yaml.

You can drop the description, it's already described in
video-interfaces.yaml.

Are those frequencies the only ones the hardware can support, or do they
come from the driver only supporting a fixed set of sensor PLL
configurations ? In the latter case I would drop the enumeration.
