Hi Laurent, thank you for your review.
My answers inline.

This is a hardware setting for timings in IPI (Image Pixel Interface - Synopsys
specific interface), default is Controller mode - 1.

This can be selected in the DT or after by the driver.

Here I think It makes sense, I will use your suggestion.

I see your point,

I will do that.

I made this properties for my tests with cameras, thinking of SoCs that have
fixed HW configurations. But I can remove all this fields from the DT because
all of them can be made after in the driver.
