Yes. With the mmio bitfield muxes there can be more.

This driver started as a two-input gpio controlled bus switch.
I changed the name when adding support for bitfield controlled
multiplexers with more than two inputs.

If neither field nor gpio are set, probe will have failed and this will
never be called.

We could change both to unsigned int, as both vidsw->num_pads and
endpoint.base.port are unsigned int, and they are only compared/assigned
to those and each other.

To support CSI-2 multiplexers, yes.
