General notes on the set, not related to any single patch:

- Where's the sub-device representing the bridge itself?

- As the driver becomes MC-centric, crop configuration takes place through
  V4L2 sub-device interface, not through the video device node.

- Same goes for accessing sensor configuration: it does not take place
  through video node but through the sub-device nodes.
