This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: sun6i-mipi-csi2: Register async subdev with no sensor attached to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: media-sun6i-mipi-csi2-register-async-subdev-with-no-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 932fd79aff4ce60805564297f096fe5f07bfb572 Author: Paul Kocialkowski <paul.kocialkowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 9 14:39:53 2022 +0100 media: sun6i-mipi-csi2: Register async subdev with no sensor attached [ Upstream commit 67182951f1dde5a88479cf8befee5f32ea014a49 ] This allows the device to probe and register its async subdev without a sensor attached. The rationale is that the parent driver might otherwise wait for the subdev to be registered when it should be available (from the fwnode graph endpoint perspective). This is generally not problematic when the MIPI CSI-2 bridge is the only device attached to the parent, but in the case of a CSI controller that can feed from both MIPI CSI-2 and parallel, it would prevent using the parallel sensor due to the parent waiting for the MIPI CSI-2 subdev to register.
