Hi Stefan.
Thanks for taking the time to review this.

Will do for V2.

Will do.

I think yoiu are correct that it isn't a common property. I was
wanting to cover the situation on the majority of the Pi boards where
Unicam1 has been used which can handle 4 lanes, but only 2 have been
broken out to the camera connector.
Happy to add a vendor prefix in V2.

Will do.
