Isn't blanking defined by what the transmitter seneds? Or do you have
hardware limitations on the receiver side?

I've only heard of one such case before, and it was a very old parallel
receiver.

If you have a CSI-2 receiver, bus-width isn't relevant --- it's for paralle
interfaces only. Please add data-lanes to required endpoint properties.
