The endpoints need to have the data-lanes property which passes an array
of data lanes, but there may well be a better way of doing this. I'm
just using the lanes member of the ssdb data structure to tell the
property how many members of the array to look at:


+    sensor->cio2_properties[0] = PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32_ARRAY_LEN(
+                    sensor->prop_names.data_lanes,
+                    sensor->data_lanes,
+                    sensor->ssdb.lanes);


So if sensor->ssdb.lanes is 2, even though it's passed a pointer to the
first member of an array of 4 members, the size calculation of that
macro limits it to just those in use. I.E. if sensor->ssdb.lanes is 2
then the property will be given the size 2 * sizeof(u32), and so when
its parsed only [1, 2] will be read.
