If the IMX media pipeline is configured to receive multiple video inputs, the second input stream may be broken on start. This happens if the IMX CSI hardware has to be reconfigured for the second stream, while the first stream is already running.
The IMX CSI driver configures the IMX CSI in the link_validate callback. The media pipeline is only validated on the first start. Thus, any later start of the media pipeline skips the validation and directly starts streaming. This may leave the hardware in an inconsistent state compared to the driver configuration. Moving the hardware configuration to the stream start to make sure that the hardware is configured correctly.
Patch 1 removes the caching of the upstream mbus_config in csi_link_validate and explicitly request the mbus_config in csi_start, to get rid of this implicit dependency.
Patch 2 actually moves the hardware register setting from csi_link_validate to csi_start to fix the skipped hardware reconfiguration.
