Um, yes. Then... how about: video-bus-switch-gpio? No Nokia prefix.

It could be two GPIOs --- that's how the GPIO I2C mux works.

But I'd be surprised if someone ever uses something like that again. ;-)

I think there was a patch by Laurent to LMML quite some time ago. I suppose
that set will be repicked soonish.

I don't really object using g_endpoint_config() as a temporary solution; I'd
like to have Laurent's opinion on that though. Another option is to wait,
but we've already waited a looong time (as in total).

I'll reply to the other patch containing the code.
