There's another in the control handler. You could use your own lock for the
control handler as well.

Different drivers may use media_pipeline_start() in different ways. Stream
control shouldn't depend on that count. This could cause issues in using the
driver with other ISP / receiver drivers.
I think it should be enough to move the check to the imx driver in this
case.

You still need to enable it first. I don't see that being done in probe. As
the driver implements the s_power() op, I don't see a need for powering the
device on at probe time (and conversely off at remove time).
