The same issue actually exists for CSI-2: the CRC is typically enabled and I think you can at least disable the check (in OMAP3 ISP). Do we have a need to disable it at the moment for any purpose? I think I've seen this was disabled somewhere but it may just as well be a thoughtlessly written configuration.
