I'm not clear what you're asking for here.
This binding is for the Unicam block, not for CMI (Clock Manager
Imaging). In order for a Unicam instance to work, it needs to enable
the relevant clock gating via 1 CMI register, and it will only ever be
one register.
Eric and Stefan as the platform maintainers have already both
acknowledged that a full clock driver for the CMI block is not
warranted - the only user would be this driver, and the other
registers in the CMI block are not useful.
Do you want a random text description of a different block within this
binding? Or are you requesting a full clock driver for the CMI block?
Or that all Unicam instances should be mapping the whole 4 register
range of CMI, and then somehow working out which register within that
block they should be mapping?

Dave
