Hi Pratyush,

Thank you for the patch.

Note that there are other issues in the driver in cleanup paths, in
particular a missing v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup() call in
csi2rx_parse_dt() when v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_remote_subdev()
fails (moving the one from the other error path to an err label would be
best), and missing media_entity_cleanup() calls in both the probe error
path and the remove handler. Would you like to submit fixes for those ?
