I guess most of MIPI-CSI2 receivers out there support data capture
from distinct Data Types into separate DMA buffers. But not this one.
In case of multi-context DMA engine I guess MIPI-CSI2 receiver driver
would expose video node anyway and it wouldn't need such a callback
at all ?

Perhaps using struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops::ioctl would be more
appropriate here ?
