Jacopo pointed out this statement is untrue. The rcar-vin only looks at 
it's local endpoint not the remote endpoint for it's bus parameters. The 
callback provided to v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_endpoints() 
confused me as the subdevice passed to it is the one describe the remote 
endpoint while the v4l2_fwnode_endpoint argument is that of the local 
endpoint. Sorry for the confusion and thanks Jacopo for correcting me.
