I am interested in how the sub-device context will handle the Streams API? Looking at the commits the v4l2_subdev_enable/disable_streams functions still appear to operate on the main sub-device only. I take it we would have additional context-aware functions here that can fetch the subdev state from the sub-device context, though I imagine some fields will have to be moved into the context such as s_stream_enabled, or even enabled_pads for non stream-aware drivers?
