Hi Svyatoslav,

Thank you for the patch.

Could you please explain what failures this causes ? A brief analysis of
the code seems to indicate the patch will only make a difference when
the DT node has multiple endpoints, and will prevent links to be created
for any endpoint but the first one. I don't think that's desirable.

This is not a port fwnode. I'd name the variable just fwnode.

Let's use the cleanup API:

#include <cleanup.h>

...

struct v4l2_subdev *sd = media_entity_to_v4l2_subdev(entity);
struct mt9m114 *sensor = ifp_to_mt9m114(sd);
struct fwnode_handle *fwnode = dev_fwnode(&sensor->client->dev);
struct fwnode_handle *ifp_ep __free(fwnode_handle) =
fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint(fwnode, NULL);

return endpoint->local_fwnode == ifp_ep ? 1 : -ENXIO;
