Yes, it's not for merging as I wrote: "So at the moment we cannot merge 
this driver, but hopefully the dependencies will get merged before the 
reviews on this one are done."

I believe Sakari's and Jacopo's serieses should be very close to 
merging, and those should satisfy the needs of the driver itself.

The DT bindings example uses a header from RPi5 base support series, and 
if merging the base support seems to take a long time, I guess I could 
drop the include and just use numbers instead for RP1_INT_MIPI0 and 
RP1_CLK_MIPI0_CFG. And change those back later when the base support is 
merged.
