There you go.

The driver is neither interesting nor complex.  It seems, however, that getting 
this to run on imx8m-mini will require either other tools than plain v4l2-ctl or 
i am missing something here.  

I wonder if i have to play with media-ctl and connect all the dots between the 
Sony sensor, to mipi-csi bridge to the imx7-capture (or whatever the damn name 
is) device.
