+ * The RDACM21 and RDACM20 camera modules this driver has been

+ *
+ * RDACM20 has an MCU which performs an initial programming, most
+ * probably enabling the reverse channel and high-threshold
+ * compensation during startup. It needs then to be interoperated
+ * with the deserializer reverse channel amplitude already compensated
+ * to 170mV (70mV + 100 mV).
+ *
+ * RDACM21 does not need that and reverse channel could have been
+ * compensated after all serializers have probed.
+ *
+ * Without this early compensation RDACM20 fails to probe, but RDACM21
+ * shows slightly less reliable communications.

Expand commen on the reverse channel amplitude compensation as its handling differs between RDACM20 and RDACM21. Keep the current register configuration as it works for both devices. While at it, add a delay after reverse channel re-configuration as suggested by the programming guide.
