This port numeration is imperfect, because port at 0 and port at 2 are required,
while middle port at 1 is optional.

Like it was stated before a number of times, it seems natural to operate
with two ports, where input port may have two endpoints rather than 3 ports,
also that approach solves the problem of a hole in the port numeration.

#phy-cells should be 0, because the PHY operating mode is well defined
by 'bus-type' property of an endpoint on the sensor side, the opposite
side of CAMSS/CSID as a CSIPHY "consumer" should not dictate the PHY type.

Only "qcom,x1e80100-csi2-phy" device is supported so far, unlikely it's
the case that "MXC or MXA voltage rail" should be specified, it'd be
just one of two or both.

As it's stated above, it should be converted to a single port with two
endpoints, it'd be done in accordance to video-interfaces.yaml.
