Don't look at what that code is actually doing....
It is rather horrid.
rkisp1_rsz_register() is called for each entry in an array (twice).
The array index is written into rsz->id.
The value is then used to select one of the two strings.
But rsz->id is actually an enum type.

rkisp1_rsz_register() should probably just be called twice with some
extra parameters.
