Can you add a short comment why this call is here? Since now
csi_idmac_stop is kind of a misnomer and symmetry with csi(_idmac)_start
is broken, I think this is a bit un-obvious.

Also note that now the error path of csi_start() will now call
ipu_csi_disable() while the CSI is disabled. This happens to work
because that just calls ipu_module_disable(), which is not refcounted.
