Hi Bryan,

Thank you for the patch.

I think you forgot to drop the macros from camss-vfe.h.

Did you mean per VFE Lite here ?

We could store the value per VFE type (VFE vs. VFE Lite), instead of per
VFE instance, but that would be more complex I suppose, for little gain.
However, if there are more values that depend on the VFE type instead of
the VFE instance, this should be considered.
