You would have to design your own. Pinouts for modules vary depending on the module. Likewise, RPI pin-out is provided in schematics from the foundation. The problem is you will need to design your own…

You are mentioning the Sony IMX230 - are you trying to connect this to a MotoZ or a Raspberry Pi?
In general, out of the box support for cameras through the CSI connector is limited to the Raspberry Pi camera products (IMX219 for V2, OV5647 for V1).
To use other cameras would require quite a lot of development effort - you will have to adapt whatever connection method to match that of the Raspberry Pi's flexible-flat-cable pin-out and write a suitable driver for it.

The problem is you will need to design your own adapter, and you will need to somehow come up with a driver for it which probably requires some knowledge from Broadcom in regards to the VideoCore GPU - see these threads/posts for a bit of perspective:

This is not something it seems many others have done, so you're really much on your own.
