Yeah, I should probably drop the _irqsave() version

The lock protects pispbe->streaming_map which is accessed for writing
by start/stop_streaming which can be called on a video node
concurrently to a qbuf (which again calls pispbe_prepare_job() and
access pispbe->streaming_map) on a different video node. If I'm not
mistaken the lock is needed then

It's a new construct to me, I'll use it as it seems nice

Probably yes, if I'm not mistaken the same has been suggested for the
C55. However it can be done on top probably

I should probably unify struct pispbe_job and struct
pispbe_job_descriptor as the former contains a subset of the latter.
With this, I can make both queued_job and running_job pointers most
probably.

The num_tiles validation can even be moved to
pisp_be_validate_config() when a buffer is queued to the config node.

When it comes to the hw_enables mask validatation I think it already
is validated by

       	if (!(bayer_enables & PISP_BE_BAYER_ENABLE_INPUT) ==
	    !(rgb_enables & PISP_BE_RGB_ENABLE_INPUT)) {
		dev_dbg(dev, "%s: Not one input enabled\n", __func__);
		return -EIO;
	}

in pisp_be_validate_config() so it can probably be dropped from here
