media: qcom: camss: vfe: Add support for VFE 1080

Add support for the VFE (Video Front End) 1080 found on Kaanapali SoC.

[Severity: High]
Does the current implementation actually enforce this requirement?

If userspace queues 1 buffer via V4L2 and calls STREAMON, the vb2_queue
lacks a min_queued_buffers limit in msm_video_register(). Consequently,
vfe_enable_output_v2() dynamically queues only 1 buffer to the hardware,
but csid_configure_stream() in camss-csid-1080.c unconditionally issues
CAMSS_INIT_BUF_COUNT (2) AUP_UPDATE commands.

Can this mismatch lead to write master state corruption or IOMMU faults
due to hardware desynchronization?

[Severity: High]
Does this introduce a data race on csid->aup_update and rup_update?

This call reaches __csid_aup_update() in process context. While local
interrupts are disabled via vfe->output_lock, there is no cross-CPU
synchronization.

Concurrently, csid_isr() fires in hardirq context (potentially on another CPU)
and calls __csid_aup_rup_clear(), which performs a bitwise clear on the same
state variables without holding a shared lock:

    csid->aup_update &= ~CSID_RUP_AUP_RDI(port_id);
    csid->rup_update &= ~CSID_RUP_AUP_RDI(port_id);

Can these concurrent non-atomic bitwise operations cause lost updates
and corrupt the CSID_AUP_CMD and CSID_RUP_CMD register states, leading
to stream stalls or hardware misconfiguration?
