Alright, I see now.

Will be great if you could change this hunk:

{
  ret = v4l2_subdev_call(src_subdev, video, s_stream, true);
  if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENOIOCTLCMD) {
    tegra_mipi_cancel_calibration(csi_chan->mipi);
    v4l2_subdev_call(csi_subdev, video, s_stream, false);
    return ret;
  }
}

to look like this:

{
  err = v4l2_subdev_call(src_subdev, video, s_stream, true);
  if (err < 0 && err != -ENOIOCTLCMD)
    goto err_disable_csi_stream;
...
  return 0;

err_disable_csi_stream:
  tegra_mipi_cancel_calibration(csi_chan->mipi);

  v4l2_subdev_call(csi_subdev, video, s_stream, false);

  return err;
}


It should make code a bit easier to read and follow.

Otherwise this patch looks good to me, thanks.
