[PATCH v4 3/7] media: imx: imx7-media-csi: Use dual sampling for YUV 1X16

The CSI bridge should operate in dual components mode when it is
connected to a pixel transmitter that transfers two components at a time
in YUV 422 formats (16 bits, Y + U/V).

Use the image format variants to determine if single or dual component mode
should be used.

Add a note to the TODO file to record that the list of supported formats
should be restricted to the SoC model the CSI bridge is integrated on
to avoid potential pipeline mis-configurations.

+- imx7-media-csi: Restrict the supported formats list to the SoC version.
+
+  The imx7 CSI bridge can be configured to sample pixel components from the Rx
+  queue in single (8bpp) or double (16bpp) component modes. Image format
+  variants with different sample sizes (ie YUYV_2X8 vs YUYV_1X16) determine the
+  pixel components sampling size per each clock cycle and their packing mode
+  (see imx7_csi_configure() for details).
+
+  As the imx7 CSI bridge can be interfaced with different IP blocks depending on
+  the SoC model it is integrated on, the Rx queue sampling size should match
+  the size of the samples transferred by the transmitting IP block.
+
+  To avoid mis-configurations of the capture pipeline, the enumeration of the
+  supported formats should be restricted to match the pixel source transmitting
+  mode.
+
+  Example: i.MX8MM SoC integrates the CSI bridge with the Samsung CSIS CSI-2
+  receiver which operates in dual pixel sampling mode. The CSI bridge should
+  only expose the 1X16 formats variant which instructs it to operate in dual
+  pixel sampling mode. When the CSI bridge is instead integrated on an i.MX7,
+  which supports both serial and parallel input, it should expose both variants.
+
+  This currently only applies to YUYV formats, but other formats might need
+  to be handled in the same way.

+		 * the CR3 TWO_8BIT_SENSOR field (also known as SENSOR_16BITS in
+		 * the i.MX8MM reference manual). When set to 0, data packing

+		 * to 1 when the CSIS outputs 16-bit samples. On i.MX8MQ, the
+		 * gasket ignores the MIPI_DOUBLE_CMPNT bit and YUV 4:2:2 always
