In that case we should restrict the values of the properties to what the
hardware actually supports. I would hardcode the flags here, and check them
when parsing the endpoint to make sure they're valid.

If you find a register I have missed in the documentation with which
polarities could be configured then please also feel free to prove me wrong
:-)

Thank you for that.

No, you're right, I had overlooked the V4L2_MBUS_DATA_ACTIVE_HIGH flag when
reading v4l2_of_parse_parallel_bus(), probably a typo when searching. Please
ignore that comment.
