On the test board, /dev/v4l-subdev1 is imx219, and the corresponding directory is
/sys/dev/char/81:3/device. Media0 does not exist in this directory. Therefore, the media_fd
obtained through mi_get_media_fd(node.g_fd(), node.bus_info) is invalid.

I don't know why media0 does not exist in /sys/dev/char/81:3/device?
