Yet, udev/systemd has some rules that provide an unique name for V4L

using rules like this:
KERNEL=="video*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", SYMLINK+="v4l/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}-video-index$attr{index}"
Those names are stored at /dev/v4l/by-path.
This doesn't help:

The problem is the "platform-capture-subsystem-video-index" entries.
These themselves change order. For instance, I now have:
- entity 72: ipu1_csi0 capture (1 pad, 1 link)
type Node subtype V4L flags 0
device node name /dev/video6
which means it's platform-capture-subsystem-video-index4. Before, it
was platform-capture-subsystem-video-index2.
That's a driver problem. v4l_id gets information to build the persistent
name from the result of VIDIOC_QUERYCAP.
In the case of Exynos gsc driver, for example, the information is here:
static int gsc_m2m_querycap(struct file *file, void *fh,
struct v4l2_capability *cap)
{
struct gsc_ctx *ctx = fh_to_ctx(fh);
struct gsc_dev *gsc = ctx->gsc_dev;
strlcpy(cap->driver, GSC_MODULE_NAME, sizeof(cap->driver));
strlcpy(cap->card, GSC_MODULE_NAME " gscaler", sizeof(cap->card));
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:%s",
dev_name(&gsc->pdev->dev));
cap->device_caps = V4L2_CAP_STREAMING | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M_MPLANE |
V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE;
cap->capabilities = cap->device_caps | V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS;
return 0;
}
See that the bus_info there is filled with:
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:%s", dev_name(&gsc->pdev->dev));
From the output you printed, it seems that the i.MX6 is just doing:
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:");
for some devices.
imx6 is setting bus_info string on all capture devices as:
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info),
"platform:%s", dev_name(priv->dev));
dev_name(priv->dev) is the device name of the attached subdev.
So the bus_info string, at least for attached CSI subdevs, should
be "platform:imx-ipuv3-csi".
Maybe there is something else missing, I haven't had a chance to
look at this yet.

If you change the i.MX6 driver to do the same, you'll likely be able to
have unique names there too.
