Yes I agreee. > What you want to check in your driver is whether the subdev you're > connected to has a sink pad that uses MIPI-CSI I'm not really sure that's possible, but if it is it would indeed be the most appropriate solution. If it's not, we still need to know that we need to feed from MIPI CSI-2 so I don't see any other option than report MIPI CSI-2 on both ends of MIPI CSI-2 controller. But there's still the question of what media bus type should be reported for the CSI <-> MIPI CSI-2 link. I'm fine with unknown but we could also add a generic internal bus type for this case.
