Found it - my imx219 driver returns '1' from its s_power function when
powering up, which triggers a bug in your code - when imx_media_set_power()
fails to power up, you call imx_media_set_power() telling it to power
everything off - including devices that are already powered off.
This is really bad news - s_power() may be called via other paths,
such as when the subdev is opened.
