It improves readability even more if you use ARRAY_SIZE() directly as then
it's easy to see you're dealing with a single array. GC08A3_NUM_SUPPLIES is
thus a useless definition.

Please fix the Mediatek ISP driver in that case.

I'm also open to adding a V4L2 framework function to obtain the number of
lanes (and other configuration) for an upstream sub-device, either using
the local endpoint or g_mbus_config if the sub-device driver implements
that.
