I'll pretend I haven't read this not to be dragged in tangential

assume if you submit a driver for inclusion you have tested it.

I think the clock rate should be assigned in DTS and you should verify

There's usually a minimum amount of blankings to be respected, not a
total, even less if the sensor capable of producing smaller modes
through subsampling. Is this sensor different ? I haven't found any
mention in the datasheet.

Everyone has preferences. I do have mine, and they DON'T MATTER when I
submit code for inclusion.
"We" is me reporting what I've been told in these years from people
that spent their time reviewing my code and making sure the result is
consistent among the whole subsystem. The style of this driver is
totally alien to any convention in place here, and if you can ignore
my comments as I'm just a random idiot on the internet, you have been
told the same by the other people that cared enough to look into your
code.
It all really sounds like "it's better my way, please don't annoy me".
I don't find this a productive way to operate in a cooperative space :)

Because it's 0 by default ?
Although seems like a desirable feature.
I would have defined BIT(5) separately and enabled it explicitly to
make it visible, but I understand it's not required.

'be()' is bad as it is only used in this driver, modifying the
register tables requires to handle the be() macro. I had tested this
by moving register tables to and from a different driver and I had to
manually insert the be() thing and remove it on the other way around.
For one that writes code there are tens that reads, use and modify it.
And you should be mostly concerned about them.

The long table writes should be done once at power-up time, not in any
hot path. The number or registers that should written at s_stream()
time (the only hot path here) is minimal, so I personally would not
care.
That said, if the efficiency argument holds for others, feel free to
keep it the way it is.

I tested with that yes, I can try remove the already programmed totals

Being this a raw sensor, it's probably fine to assume exposure will be
manually adjusted later. I'll defer this to maintainers.

I see. Reading this and your below reply I get you need to enable test
mode, force the lines in LP-11 state and then disable the test mode
and start streaming. Feels like an ack, but maybe that's how the
sensor is intended to be operated.
I anyway think doing this here is not the best idea. "We" have a
pre_streamon() operation but it's also usually done at s_stream(0)
which you can call at device node open time to coax the lines in
LP-11. You already do most of these things, so I would move the test
mode handling to s_stream(0) and start/stop stream by just toggling
the RESET_STREAM bit as suggested in the s_stream() code snippet I've
shared in my previous reply.

I think it's wrong. RESTART as per its definition interrupts the frame
and re starts the stream. START enables/disable streaming. You set
them both, even at s_stream(0) time, and things might work by
accident because you enable/disable the test mode at s_stream() time.
As suggested I would rather coax the data lanes in LP-11 state at
s_stream(0) time by enabling test mode after having disabled streaming
by clearing the RESET_STREAM bit in AR0521_REG_RESET. Similarly at
s_stream(1) time I would disable the test mode (I bet it could be done
by clearing bits [9:6] in 0x3066 without touching the HiSpi control
register) and the start streaming by setting RESET_STREAM.

Because

The format can’t be changed because the pad is currently busy. This
can be caused, for instance, by an active video stream on the pad. The
ioctl must not be retried without performing another action to fix the
problem first. Only returned by VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT

Because seems like a clock downscaler intended to be used to adapt the CSI-2
clock frequency (lane dependent) to the pixel clock and could be
programmed once.
Also note that the number of data lanes in use can actually be modified at
run time but it's not something that has to be considered here.

So please reuse it instead of open-coding this.
You should probably also support init_cfg as you expose a subdev video
device and you can have an init_format() or similar to be called there
for the try format and called here for the active format.

Maybe I'm wrong but calling set_suspend() after pm_runtime() had been
disabled seems pointless. A minor anyway as it's in the driver's
remove function.
