VI is the main video input (video device) and on streaming it starts 
stream of CSI subdev prior to stream of Sensor.

HW path, sensor stream (CSI TX) -> CSI stream (RX)

During CSI stream on, CSI PHY receiver is enabled to start receiving the 
data but internally capture assembled to active state will happen only 
when Tegra VI single shot is issues where VI thru pixel parser gets 
captures data into the memory
