Hi Jean-Michel,

Thank you for the patch.

You can drop the description, that's the default for the reg property.

Same here.

Same here, but a description of each entry would be useful.

clocks:
items:
- description: Clock for foo.
- description: Clock for bar.

You need to use port-base and list the valid endpoint properties.

Does this validate without #include'ing headers that define the
BCM2835_CLOCK_CAM1 macro ?

You can drop the label.

That's two items, while the bindings document one item only. Please run
the DT bindings validation, it will validate the examples.

On RPi 4 don't we need 3 interrupt cells ?

A blank line would be good here.

Inconsistent indentation. Same below.

You can drop those two labels.

This isn't documented upstream in yaml. How about using an imx219 sensor
instead ?

You can drop this, there's no need to declare the clock in the example.
