Sakari, thanks for your patch.
one question - With this change, there will be no chance for driver to guarantee
that the camera sensor plugged in is the camera that the matched driver actually
can drive until try to streaming the camera, so is it necessary to return
appropriate error in .s_stream ops to notify user it is not the hardware that
current driver can drive? if no other better way.
