That's my comment dated March 27, 2026, and it says moving phy type
from phy cell to the endpoint property excludes the need to set any
phy cells:

The technical comment is left unresponded so far since then.

Since there is no expected phy cells to get on consumer's side, and
since there is another link between CSIPHY and CSID described in
video-interfaces.yaml, any kind of dependency of this IP on phy can
be just removed, which serves the purpose of hardware description
simplification.
