This allows the device to probe and register its async subdev without a sensor attached. The rationale is that the parent driver might otherwise wait for the subdev to be registered when it should be available (from the fwnode graph endpoint perspective). This is generally not problematic when the MIPI CSI-2 bridge is the only device attached to the parent, but in the case of a CSI controller that can feed from both MIPI CSI-2 and parallel, it would prevent using the parallel sensor due to the parent waiting for the MIPI CSI-2 subdev to register.
