that bound callback imx7_csi_notify_bound() is called only once during
probe: v4l2_create_fwnode_links_to_pad() returns 0 and
imx7_csi_async_register() returns success too.

(the imx8mq mipi driver probes successfully, independently, a few ms
before the above, the sensor driver a few ms after that)

So nothing obviously going wrong during probe(). that's the call trace
in imx7_csi_notify_bound() :

btw, my test is:

v4l2-ctl -d "/dev/v4l/by-path/platform-30a90000.csi1_bridge-video-
index0" --set-fmt-video=width=640,height=480 --stream-mmap --stream-
to=test.raw --stream-count=1

and that (probably because of the missing link) fails with

VIDIOC_STREAMON returned -1 (No such device)

which is in the kernel:

imx7-csi 30a90000.csi1_bridge: pipeline start failed with -19
