But I don't see where that SoC-dependent definition is made in
terga210.c. That tegra_image_format enum looks T210-specific, isn't it?

DRM driver has a proper separation of the sub-drivers where sub-driver
won't load on unsupported hardware. The tegra-video driver should do the
same, i.e. VI and CSI should be individual drivers (and not OPS). There
could be a some common core, but for now it's not obvious to me what
that core should be, maybe just the video.c.

This code shouldn't be shared within the same driver module, IMO.

Alright, then the tegra-video should be fine.
