Data alignment of RAW12 format in MIPI-CSI

[t-sugiyama]

Hello,

I have a question about MIPI-CSI feature of i.MX8Mmini.
Please tell me if my understanding is correct about the RAW12 data in "13.4.5 Image Data alignment" of the reference manual.

In MIPI's RAW12 format, one pixel is divided into 8bit and 4bit.
In the MIPI-CSI ISP I/F data bus, RAW12 data is aligned, so there is no need for the user to rearrange the RAW12 format data to 12 bits/pixel.

Thanks.
Tetsuya.
