I confirm this was the issue, your patch fixes it.

I confirm that works with OV5642 on SabreLite:

I've tried that patch have a some comments:
- When applied, no capture shows up any more, instead I have two m2m
  v4l2 devices [1].
- OV5640 Mipi is assigned the same address as OV5642, therefore both
  can't work at the same time right now. There's a register in the
  camera that allows to modify its I2C address, see this patch [2].
- How is the mclk working in this patch? It should be using the PWM3
  output to generate a ~22MHz clock. I would expect the use of a
  pwm-clock node [3].

Also another remark on both OV5642 and OV5640 patches, is it recommended
to use 0x80000000 pin muxing value? This leaves it to the bootloader to
properly setup the I/O. It sounds safer to properly set them up in the
device tree in my opinion in order not to be dependent on the bootloader.

All the above remarks said, thanks for this work on i.MX camera support,
that feature will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Gary
