Digging into the documentation we find that the DT_ID bitfield is used to
map the six bit DT to a two bit ID code. This value is concatenated to the
VC bitfield to create a CID value. DT_ID is the two least significant bits
of CID and VC the most significant bits.
Originally we set dt_id = vc * 4 in and then subsequently set dt_id = vc.
commit 3c4ed72a16bc ("media: camss: sm8250: Virtual channels for CSID")
silently fixed the multiplication by four which would give a better
value for the generated CID without mentioning what was being done or why.
Next up I haplessly changed the value back to "dt_id = vc * 4" since there
didn't appear to be any logic behind it.
Hans asked what the change was for and I honestly couldn't remember the
provenance of it, so I dug in.

Add a comment so the next hapless programmer doesn't make this same
mistake.

Regardless, since the vc variable <= 3 (since MSM_CSID_MAX_SRC_STREAMS is 4),
either interpretation makes little sense.
More recent versions of CSI-2 support up to 6 bits of VC (or possibly
even more in versions I may not know about). It would probably make
sense to write vc[5:0] | dt_id[1:0] or something similar.
And what does "DT" stand for?
Data Type.

If dt_id should be the least significant two bits of vc, shouldn't
this say: "= vc & 3;"? Or, alternatively, have a comment that vc <= 3?

I'll rewrite this comment since its still confusing people.
@Hans VC and DT are fields in the CSI protocol structure sections
2.2.2.2 and 2.2.2.3
