nit: Not your fault but as this driver grew organically to support Gen4
which only have one source pad compared to Gen3 which have 4. Could we
extend this comment to carry more detail?
Providing a frame descriptor on the source pad only make sens on
Gen4. On Gen3 the CSI-2 IP is used to demux the CSI streams to each
VIN instance, while on Gen4 this job is done by the Channel Selector
of the ISP, and that needs the frame descriptors.
Or something similar? With that fixed,
