Tested on a LicheePi Zero Dock (V3s) with the following pipeline:

ov5647 -> sun6i-mipi-csi2 -> sun6i-csi-bridge -> sun6i-isp-proc ->
sun6i-isp-capture

I verified that streaming through the ISP pipeline works correctly
after this change and that the previous .link_validate() warning for
'sun6i-isp-params' device is no longer triggered.
