The root problem is here. I don't know why the CSI entities are not
being recognized. Can you share the changes you made?

So imx_media_subdev_bound() returns error because it didn't recognize
the subdev that was bound.

And for some reason, even though some of the subdev bound ops return
error, v4l2-core still calls the async completion notifier
(imx_media_probe_complete()).

I'll add some checks to imx_media_probe_complete() to try and detect
when not all subdevs were bound correctly to get around this issue.
That should prevent the kernel BUG() below.
