Hi Sowjanya,

Thank you for the patch.

A bit of a stupid question maybe, but why is this needed ? Can't the
driver that handles the vi DT node ("nvidia,tegra20-vi") handle all the
registers for all the sub-blocks ? Can't we move the clocks and power
domains from the CSI node to the VI node ?

Regardless of the answer to this question, I think this is missing port
nodes for the physical CSI-2 inputs, to connect them to sensors. I
haven't seen anywhere in this series how a CSI-2 sensor is linked to the
VI.
