Well I've been seeing issues like dropped packets and various issues on
the CSI2 receiver that could be because of badly configured clocks ...
so there's definitely some things to check and validate here still.

I don't know how the clocking would be adapted at runtime yet either ...
but it might be something interesting to look at. It's likely more
difficult as it's two separate nodes that would have to know about each
other at some level.
