Hi Sakari,

I have questions about "bus-type" handling below.

My understanding was that parallel BT656 bus is handled by the absence 
of hsync/vsync-active, as stated in 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt:
"  Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are not specified, embedded
   synchronization may be required, where supported. "

Do you want to enforce usage of "bus-type" now in order to be more 
explicit on parallel or bt656 ?
If I change binding to make "bus-type" required, I have to change the 
current board devicetree files to add support of it, and I would prefer 
to not do that. Is there a way to put "bus-type" as not mandatory and 
rely on absence of hsync/vysnc to trig BT656 ? I will nevertheless amend 
bindings in order to document that.
What do you suggest ?
