I considered that, but in reality, when adding an endpoint for VPIF
input, you'll not only need to add the remote-endpoint, but the
bus_width will depend on the remote-endpoint as well (e.g. tvp514x for
composite only uses 8-bit bus, but for raw-camera capture, it can use
10 or 12.)
Therefore, I think it best to delete them entirely.
Thanks for the review,
Kevin
