I get one smatch warning:

drivers/staging/media/starfive/camss/stf-isp.c:122 isp_enum_mbus_code() warn: unsigned 'code->index' is never less than zero.

And I also notice that there is no TODO file: staging drivers should have a
TODO file explaining what needs to be done to get them out of staging.

I'm curious to know that as well :-)

It looks like there is a lot of additional development that can be done, since
most of the ISP parameters appear to be hardcoded.

I also notice something weird in the compliance test output for v4l-subdev0 vs
v4l-subdev1:

Here it shows the Media Driver Info for v4l-subdev0.

But this does not appear for v4l-subdev1.

I can't really tell why it doesn't show that. Can you debug a little bit?
The code is in v4l2-compliance.cpp, line 1086:

ent_id = mi_media_info_for_fd(media_fd, node.g_fd(), &is_invalid, &node.function);

The mi_media_info_for_fd() function calls ioctl(media_fd, MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO, &mdinfo),
and that fails for some reason. It could be that media_fd is invalid (would be weird).

This could well be a v4l2-compliance bug that you hit with this driver.
