ah that's why the driver doesn't match on mm, yet

I meant
oneOf:
- enum:
- fsl,imx8mq-csi
- fsl,imx8mm-csi
- fsl,imx6ul-csi
- items:
- const: fsl,imx7-csi
But I now understand why 8mm and imx7 were there.
And the oneOf indeed doesn't allow to use imx7 as a fallback but
rather as an alternative to the precise SoC identifiers.
