>=20

When we use this IP in prototyping we configure blanking at the receiver=20
side.
Some cameras don't have blanking configuration capabilities so we=20
configure it on the RX side.

>=20

I used bus-width property in the Synopsys IPI (Image Pixel Interface)=20
that enables direct video stream access.
This interface is an output that can be 16-bit or 48-bit, that's why I=20
used bus-width property.
