CameraLink connectivity issues with a dev kit

The 10 bit camera output is correctly defined by CLR_BASE_D[9:0]. The strange pairing of bits with the CameraLink Receiver chip are an artifact of the CameraLink specification (not the strangest thing in that specification either). Yes, for an 8 bit camera use bits 0,1,2,3,4,6,27,5 with the last bit 5 being the MSB.
