When calculating CSI throughput, it is important to account for the extra 8 bits in the 40-bit forward channel payload that are used for redundancy, parity, check sum, DC balancing, embedded clock, control, and error checking. A normal CSI payload is 32 bits, and adding these 8 bits will reduce the actual amount of data that is transferred. This is why 4.16 Gbps of data transfer is actually a maximum of 3.32 Gbps of CSI throughput.
Because there are four data lanes available, the maximum value of CSI throughput per lane is calculated as 832 Mbps after dividing the maximum possible CSI throughput by 4. Even if two lanes in use, the maximum throughput is still divided 4. As a result, the maximum CSI throughput is 832 Mbps, regardless of how many lanes are used. Note that this is a limitation of the serializer and not the deserializer. This information is found in Table 5.
