Like I've said in v14 review, the statement above is incorrect, and it has
to be changed, for whatever reason it hasn't happened so far.

 From https://lore.kernel.org/all/1e1bc17a-4c7a-4c08-b0c8-2a2ff31fe870@linaro.org/

>>> C-PHY bus type is also well described by this version of the bindings.

A review comment given to v14 is still applicable, 'bus-type' property
should be set as optional with D-PHY mode fallback.

Here 'clock-lanes' is a truly optional proiperty since its value is
immutable in each endpoint, it should be removed from the list of
required properties.

Also 'clock-lanes' are not expected to be found in C-PHY bus type case.

Apart of a few minor comments above, everything else looks good to me.
