We are using a Omnivision OV5640 sensor with a i.MX6 SOM running Debian Stretch. The camera module we would like to use provides its own XVCLK at 12 MHz, and does not use the 24 MHz provided by IMX6QDL_CLK_CKO2 / csi_mclk. We are using the ov5640_mipi.c camera driver & mxc_v4l2_capture.c driver for V4L / gstreamer.
What changes do we need to make to the sensor driver, device tree, or other parts of the kernel in order to use the 12 MHz clock? Which modules need to be aware of this change?
Sensor: OV5640

};
From ov5640 driver:
ov5640_data.sensor_clk = devm_clk_get(dev, "csi_mclk");
...
retval = of_property_read_u32(dev->of_node, "mclk", &(ov5640_data.mclk));
...
clk_prepare_enable(ov5640_data.sensor_clk);
