Looking at the actual driver, it seems to at least have a different
register layout:
register imx6 dw
version 0x000 0x000
n_lanes 0x004 0x004
phy_shutdownz 0x008 -
dphy_resetz 0x00c -
resetn 0x010 0x008
phy_state 0x014 -
data_ids_1 0x018 0x010
data_ids_2 0x01c 0x014
err1 0x020 -
err2 0x024 -
msk1 0x028 -
msk2 0x02c -
phy_tst_ctrl0 0x030 -
phy_tst_ctrl1 0x034 -
sft_reset 0xf00 - (not part of CSI2, but a IMX6 specific
CSI2 to IPU gasket layer, but lives in
CSI2's register region)
The DW version has many more registers than are documented by the iMX6
version. Only the first two registers appear to be common between these
two devices, and maybe five registers exist (I haven't checked whether
their bit layouts are the same though.)
So, I would say that these are two different devices.
As for the bindings, the differences are:
compatible: dw uses "snps,dw-mipi-csi"
imx6 uses "fsl,imx6-mipi-csi2", "snps,dw-mipi-csi2"
reg: dw and imx6 both use a single base address
interrupts: dw requires one interrupt, imx6 has up to two interrupts
output-type: relevant for DW, meaningless on imx6 (not documented)
phys: DW seems to specify a separate PHY, on imx6 the PHY
control/status is tightly integrated into the CSI2
register set, and the PHY itself is undocumented except
for some specific programming documented in source code.
resets: DW lists this under "required", but suffixes it with
(optional), so is it optional or is it not?
Meaningless on imx6.
port: imx6 requires this, and must specify all (5) connectivity -
one node to connect to the camera, and four nodes connecting
to the rest of the capture system.
dw specifies only one port node to be connected to the
camera.
dw document is unclear whether this is an optional or
required property. imx6 requires all five nodes.
clocks, imx6 requires the clocks and clock names to be specified,
clock-names: dw requires no clocks. DW binding would need these to be
optional.
So, the only common properties are "reg" and maybe "interrupts".
The DW binding also looks specific to the SoC implementation - the lack
of any specification in it as to how the module relates to other parts
of the capture system _appears_ to mean that its relationship with those
other parts can't be established from DT. That's a problem when it comes
to iMX6, because the CSI2 relationship to the one or two IPU units depends
on the SoC (whether it's a single/dual-lite or dual/quad version.)
Therefore, it does not make sense to (a) use the same compatible, or
(b) use the same binding.
