Hi Tommaso,

Thank you for the patch.

      The regulator that supplies power to the VCC_EXT_IN pins.

You can drop "in microseconds", that's implied by the suffix.

I'd like to propose what I think is a clearer version:

    description: |
      Low power to high speed delay time.

      If the value is larger than 0, the camera forces a reset of all
      D-PHY lanes for the duration specified by this property. All lanes
      will transition to the low-power state and back to the high-speed
      state after the delay. Otherwise the lanes will transition to and
      remain in the high-speed state immediately after power on.

      This is meant to help CSI-2 receivers synchronizing their D-PHY
      RX.
