+Video4Linux Version 2 (V4L2)
+
+General concept:
+- video pipelines consist of external devices, e.g., camera sensors, controlled
+  over an I2C bus, and SoC internal IP blocks, including video DMA engines and
+  video data processors.
+- this document describes common bindings of all video pipeline devices.
+- SoC internal blocks are described by DT nodes, placed similarly to other SoC
+  blocks.
+- external devices are places on their respective control busses, e.g., I2C
+- data interfaces on all video devices are described by "port" child DT nodes
+- port configuration depends on other devices, participating in the data
+  transfer, and is described by "link" DT nodes, specified as children of
+  all "port" nodes, connected to this bus.
+- if a port can be configured to work with more than one other device on the
+  same bus, a "link" child DT node must be provided for each of them.
+- if more than one port is present on a device or more than one link is
+  connected to a port, a common scheme, using "#address-cells," "#size-cells"
+  and "reg" properties is used.
+
+Optional link properties:
+- remote: phandle to the other endpoint link DT node.
+- data-shift: on parallel data busses, if data-width is used to specify the
+  number of data lines, data-shift can be used to specify which data lines are
+  used, e.g., "data-width=<10>; data-shift=<2>;" means, that lines 9:2 are used.
+- hsync-active: 1 or 0 for active-high or -low HSYNC signal polarity
+  respectively.
+- vsync-active: ditto for VSYNC. Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are
+  not specified, embedded synchronisation may be required, where supported.
+- pclk-sample: rising (1) or falling (0) edge to sample the pixel clock pin.
+- immutable: used for SoC-internal links, if no configuration is required.
+- data-lanes: array of serial, e.g., MIPI CSI-2, data hardware lane numbers in
+  the ascending order, beginning with logical lane 0.
+- clock-lanes: hardware lane number, used for the clock lane.
