Hello Krzysztof,

thanks for the review. I'm glad my error rate on bindings is lower than
it used to be before I attended your ELCE talk! ;)

OK, I think this should do:

description: parallel video capture interface for the VI

Not on Tegra20, it has one input only, but for other SoCs it's likely.
Definitely some (including Tegra20 itself) have multiple CSI-2 inputs,
and it's reasonable that this can apply to parallel input too.

Is this enough motivation to make room for more channels, or should I
remove it since I have no plans to introduce support for other Tegra
chips?

It's added in patch 2. It's a chicken-egg problem, should I add a third
patch that adds this line only?

ACK for all other comments you wrote.
