is mipi CSI 2 driver needed to use video4linux ?

for more specific
I am developing Analog Camera <–> NEXT Chip N6 <–> MIPI CSI2 <–> Apalis T30 (Preview,access image data)
Apalis T30 is linux based

Greetings @spshin!

Usually manufacturers (and the Linux kernel) provide V4L2-compatible drivers. If you have a MIPI-CSI2 camera, you would probably want to use a proper driver with such V4L2 support.
