Oh, this only works for csi ports that have pinctrl in their csi port
node, like:
&ipu1_csi0 {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂpinctrl-names = "default";
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂpinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_ipu1_csi0>;
};
For all other ports it fails. So we indeed have to silently continue if
there is no pinctrl in the port node.

pinctrl would have to be moved out of the csi port nodes, for example
into their parent ipu nodes, or maybe more correctly, into the video mux
nodes in each device tree.
