No, I found it by reading the code.  I went back and checked the in-tree
tegra DTs that have vi ports: lg-x3 (p880), nexus7-grouper and
asus-transformer all link the port through to a CSI channel endpoint with
data-lanes, which parses fine, and asus-tf600t has no remote-endpoint so
it skips on the !parent path, which leaves ret alone.  So no in-tree board
hits this.

Agreed.  This one was already committed to media.git/next on Jul 18
though, so I would rather send the subfunction split as a cleanup on top
than respin it, which also keeps the stable backport small.  I have that
version building here and can post it.

If you would rather have the committed patch dropped and replaced by a v2
with the refactor, say so and I will send that instead.
