Done, sent a patch for review to lkml and Rob.

Banged on var-som-symphony DT enough to get imx492 detected (on 5.19.0-rc4) by 
its driver.  imx-mipi-csis also looks happy enough.  Both drivers finish their 
probe() successfully.  However, i don't see /dev/video0, any ideas what might be 
the reason?
