You don't really need my changes for multi sensor support, only the
patch Fabio pointed to. You can send the patch sans GPU and VPU nodes
to get it in sooner or you can wait until multi-sensor support patch
trickles down to get all in in a single patch. All options are fine by
me, so it's up to you and Shawn I'd say.
