Looks good to me.

I meant querying it from the serializer driver, not the serializer
hardware. This being said, it would likely be difficult to do so, as the
serializer driver would need to probe first. I think I'm thus fine
selecting the mode in DT on the deserializer side.

That would possibly work for the DS90UB953, but the DS90UB913 has no
strapped mode selected at boot time but is instead configured
automatically through the back-channel (see my last reply to patch 3/8).

When connecting a DS90UB913 to a DS90UB914 deserializer, we can probably
start without mode selection in software, as the MODE pin is meant to
bootstrap that to a correct value which is then automatically
transmitted to the serializer (hardware designs where the mode would
need to be overridden should be rate). However, when connecting multiple
DS90UB913 to a DS90UB960, I can imagine connecting different types of
cameras on the four input ports, so the need to specify the mode
per-port in DT would be more common.

For these reasons, I don't think the ti,rx-mode property can be defined
as reflecting the hardware MODE strap with the DS90UB913. I also think
it would be quite confusing to define it as the desired runtime
configuration for the DS90UB913 and as the hardware MODE strap for the
DS90UB953. Could it be (explicitly) defined as the desired runtime
configuration in all cases ?

Yes that's what I meant, sorry.
