Sorry Hans. Just sent v9 which has small fix of explicit check on csi 
and vi both channels availability before TPG setup and cleanup.

As for later Tegras (Tegra186+), CSI is not a child device to VI and in 
case if either of CSI/VI platform driver register doesn't happen this 
explicit check helps to skip TPG setup. Mostly as device tree changes go 
with driver updates, should not be real issue but in case of wrong 
compatible or missing in device tree to avoid crash added this explicit 
check.

Please consider this v9 for merge.

Thanks
