I'm not so sure about this change: it relies on the implicit knowledge that
this cal driver can handle only 4 lanes max, so that doubling
V4L2_FWNODE_CSI2_MAX_DATA_LANES is the same as the old 'V4L2_FWNODE_CSI2_MAX_DATA_LANES * 2'.

I think we should either keep the existing code (which means data_lanes
is now larger than needed, so stack usage increases by 8 bytes), or perhaps
create a new define for this driver like CAL_MAX_DATA_LANES and use that.

In my opinion the original code should just be kept, but I've CC-ed Laurent
on this to hear what he thinks.
