[PATCH v2] media: docs-rst: Clarify duration of LP-11 mode

From: Steve Longerbeam
Date: Tue Aug 13 2019 - 18:36:54 EST


From: Steve Longerbeam <slongerbeam@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a sentence that makes it more clear when the CSI-2 transmitter
must, if possible, exit LP-11 mode. That is, maintain LP-11 mode
until stream on, at which point the transmitter activates the clock
lane and transition to HS mode.

Changes in v2:
- change wording "Only until stream on ..." to "Only at stream on ..."
