I'll leave most of the review to Laurent and Sakari, but I'm not quite sure what you meant in the last paragraph. Did you mean that the MIPI-CSI controller in the Allwinner SoC should only be linked if it has a sensor attached, or did you mean that any MIPI-CSI2 bridge cannot be attached to the controller? Also, having somewhere (like your cover letter) the media-ctl setup you tested with would be great.
