Hey, I use the driver mx6s_capture kernel 4.9.88 On the device tree it is registered with following name "fsl,imx6s-csi". Hint: I have no sub-devices on my systems only /dev/video0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Süsens Tel. +49 4321 559 56-27 mycable GmbH Fax +49 4321 559 56-10 Gartenstrasse 10 24534 Neumuenster, Germany Email su@xxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mycable GmbH, Managing Director: Michael Carstens-Behrens USt-IdNr: DE 214 231 199, Amtsgericht Kiel, HRB 1797 NM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

If the subdev driver contains controls that already exist in the V4L2 driver, then those will be skipped (so a V4L2 driver can always override a subdev control). > > But how can I get access to the controls by asynchronous registration, because the controls are not added to the video device automatically? Yes, they are via v4l2_device_register_subdev(), which is called by the async code when the subdev driver arrives. Note that this assumes that the bridge driver has a control handler that struct v4l2_device points to (the ctrl_handler field). Also note that certain types of drivers (media controller-based) such as the imx driver do not 'inherit' controls since each subdev has its own v4l-subdevX device node through which its controls can be set. You do not mention which bridge driver you are using, so I can't tell whether or not it falls in this category.
