This doesn't work: these ioctls refer to physical inputs on a backplane
of a device. But subdevices have no idea about that. This is high-level
information that is typically only known to a bridge driver based on
board information.
For PCI/USB drivers this comes from card definitions in the driver itself.
For platform drivers this should come from the device tree, but this hasn't
been fully implemented yet.
So if this is something that you want to implement, then look at:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/connector/hdmi-connector.txt
and add this to the DT for your board, and implement code to query this
in the platform driver.
