Hi Niklas,

Thank you for the patch.

Do we need the module name here ? How about calling them "%s output", 
dev_name(vin->dev) to emphasize the fact that this is a video node and not a 
VIN subdev ? This is what the omap3isp and vsp1 drivers do.

We're suffering a bit from the fact that V4L2 has never standardized a naming 
scheme for the devices. It wouldn't be fair to ask you to fix that as a 
prerequisite to get the VIN driver merged, but we clearly have to work on that 
at some point.
