By external MUX are you referring to some MUX that's external to the SoC 
(e.g. not the CSI muxes which are external to the IPU but internal to 
the SoC)? If so then yes it will still work (and of course it works if 
the MUX in question is the CSI muxes).

The function csi_get_upstream_endpoint() is only looking for, and stops 
at, the first sub-device that is external to the SoC, in order to 
determine the bus type coming into the SoC of the currently enabled 
pipeline. And that sub-device could be anything, including another MUX.
