That's an option too, which I've discussed with Sakari before. The reason why
we have decided to go for a separate property is that the PHY type seems to be
more an SoC integration property than an ISP model property. I'm open to
reconsidering that though.
Another option that has been discussed was to infer the PHY type from the ISP
revision number queried at runtime. That would be fine for the 3430, 3630 and
3730, but it remains unclear at this point whether this scheme would work with
other SoCs. It should also be noted that some OMAP3-based SoCs that
incorporate the ISP officially don't include the CSI PHYs, but seem to have
them in practice.

"isp" sounds good to me.
