You'd normally use a constant from the enum to size the array definition.
In this case you've an enum, an array [2] and the dev_names[]
all of which have to match 'by magic'.

There is a loop that half implies you might add a third type.
but then the following code only works for the two types.
You've complex error recovery in case one of the calls to 
rkisp1_rsz_register() fails - but since there can only ever
be two calls the code could be much simpler.
