The meat of this function is to register a subdev with a notifier,
so I would make it clear in the function name which is otherwise
misleading

It's not particularly exciting to iterate on pointers received from
callers without checking for num_ports first.

Also the caller has to allocate an array of "ports" and keep track of it
just to pass it to this function and I don't see a way to set the
notifier's ops before the notifier gets registered here below.

This is set already by v4l2_async_subdev_notifier_register()

In general, I have doubts this function is really needed. It requires
the caller to reserve memory just to pass down a list of intergers,
and there is no way to set subdev ops.

Could you have a look at how drivers/media/platform/rcar-vin/rcar-csi2.c
registers a subdevice and an associated notifier and see if in your
opinion it can be implemented in the same way in your imx csi/csi2 driver,
or you still like this one most?

Thanks
