...to rock music, obviously.

Indeed. Either using regmap, e.g.,

int regmap_write(struct regmap *map, unsigned int reg, unsigned int val);

or something equivalant

static inline int cif_write(struct cif_device *device, unsigned int reg,
unsigned int val);

Not sure what you agreed on in terms of a method prefix. The Rockchip
RGA driver uses "rga_something", the Rockchip ISP driver uses
"rkisp1_something". This would mean either "cif_something" or
"rkcif_something", right?

"remote" sounds reasonable. Prefix to be bikeshedded, see comment above.

In the future, we may add an array with mipi_remotes that represents the
subdevices attached wia MIPI CSI-2.
