Hi Himanshu,

Thanks for the patch.

Not a full review, but just a few comments on the PLL programming.

This sensor's registers seem quite similar to the MIPI CCS specification.

Please check if the sensor is CCS compatible. Even if it is not, I think
the PLL programming is compatible, so you can use the helpers from
ccs-pll.c.

I think when Laurent asked to make the PLL configurable for different link
frequencies, he meant deriving these and the OP_PLL_MPY value instead of
hardcoding all of them and only supporting one link freq.
