My understanding is, that MIPI CSI virtual channel handling requires 
extensions to the V4L2 subdev API. These extensions have been discussed at 
a media mini-summit almost a year ago, slides are available at [1], but as 
my priorities shifted away from this work, don't think those extensions 
ever got implemented.
