I'm not sure if I ever mentioned the 7W, that seems a lot. But in
the atomisp case the SoC will never reach S0i3 when the ISP is not
properly turned off. And in this case the ISP is special and just letting
PCI / ACPI put it in D3 is not enough it needs some special writes on
the IO-Sideband-Fabric to be turned off.

I don't know if something similar applies to the IPU3 / IPU6, but
the bridge code is used by the atomisp code now too. So at a minimum
if an error gets returned when there are no sensors then this must be unique
enough that the atomisp code can check for it. Maybe -ENODEV ?

Hans
