I was reading through patches 2, 4, 5, and 7 and really not seeing what you're trying to avoid here. Adding an option to avoid powering up the sensor is one thing, but we've got masses of other changes to fake HBLANK, VBLANK, and LINK_FREQ values, even though we appear to still have a pad format defined as 1920x1080 1x10 set on the pad. All those controls are therefore declaring invalid ranges at that point. If it's solely trying to stop imx290_set_ctrl sending register writes when not streaming, isn't it simpler to have a basic bool in the state structure to denote whether we've passed through imx290_set_stream(subdev, 1)? Set it in the same place as pm_runtime_resume_and_get is called as it's mimicking exactly the same behaviour. > Additionally, imx290_runtime_suspend() is using v4l_subdev, and > therefore depends on the subdevice.

What extra data do you see sent after stopping? On any system with runtime PM, imx290_set_ctrl will stop at the "if (!pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(imx290->dev))" check.
