What is the maximum data rate of the DCMI interface? When you use 10-bits mode, it is 54MB/s. But what about 12-bits mode? Is it 54Mz  x 12-bits /8-bits = 81MB/s ?

The documentation is a bit vague, in places it talks about 54 MHz for the clock, and others in talks about 54 MBps for the data flows. It is packing the data to 32-bit to commit to DMA, and the bandwidth there would limit to top end.

I'm leaning in the same direction as you, that the interface clocks at 54 MHz, so 14-bit data would look to yield 94.5 MBps, with the 32-bit words clocking out at 23.625 MHz
