Thanks, this fixes the following boot regression on r8a7791/koelsch:

     -rcar-vin e6ef0000.video: Device registered as video27
     +rcar-vin e6ef0000.video: Unsupported media bus format for adv7612 13-004c
     +rcar-vin e6ef0000.video: Notifier registration failed
     +rcar-vin: probe of e6ef0000.video failed with error -22
