I don't think, that just using soc-camera platform data struct will make
it impossible for non-soc-camera bridge / video input drivers to use this
subdevice driver. In general several attempts have been made earlier to
finally make soc-camera originated subdevice drivers
soc-camera-independent. This hasn't been finalised due to a lack of a real
life use-case. As soon as one appears, finalising that work shouldn't be
too difficult.

Ok, understand. As I said, I personally don't like that, but, I think,
Laurent will have a final word on this.

I'm not 100% certain either, but at least what I am certain about, is that
you need to restore the configuration before the suspend instead of just
initialising to defaults. Or would the configuration be preserved. I mean
in a sequence like
set controls
set EDID
configure formats
suspend
resume
start capture
Would the controls, formats and EDID be preserved or lost?
In fact, looking a bit more at the driver, I've got a couple more
questions.
1. Hotplug handling: you've got comments like "Pull down the hotplug pin,"
but I don't see any code that would actually pull the pin? Am I missing it
or is it permanently low?
2. You're using an own work queue just to queue a work to notify users
about the event. Wouldn't it suffice to just use the scheduler work queue?

Uhm, so, that code is untested? Then yes, personally, I'd rather drop it
for now.
