media: qcom: camss: vfe: Add support for VFE 1080

This commit adds support for the Video Front End (VFE) 1080 module found on
the Kaanapali SoC.

[Severity: High]
Does this code handle the case where userspace queues fewer than 2 buffers?

If fewer than 2 buffers are queued, the loop above breaks early when 
vfe_buf_get_pending() returns NULL, leaving active_num < 2 without returning 
an error.

The commit message notes that "the number of AUP_UPDATE requests must match 
the number of buffers queued to the write master while it is being enabled."

However, if we proceed with active_num < 2, the pipeline start continues, and 
csid_configure_stream() in camss-csid-1080.c will unconditionally issue 
CAMSS_INIT_BUF_COUNT (2) AUP updates:

drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-csid-1080.c:csid_configure_stream() {
	...
	for (k = 0; k < CAMSS_INIT_BUF_COUNT; k++)
		__csid_aup_update(csid, i);
	...
}

Could this mismatch between AUP updates and actually queued buffers lead to 
the VFE write master hardware attempting out-of-bounds DMA to uninitialized 
addresses and causing memory corruption?
