I thought the goal was to remove v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse() in the
future. If Sakari is happy to keep it and see it used for parallel
buses, I have no objection.

This patch shows a common use case, with a source supporting both
parallel and BT.656. Having to call v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse() twice,
once for each bus type, isn't a very good API in my opinion. I'd like
v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse() to be able to determine the bus type (using
the bus-type property) *and* support defaults with a single call.

Speaking of defaults, I wonder if it's a good idea to let that up to
drivers, or if we should standardize on one set of defaults that would
be shared by all DT bindings.
