I'd really prefer not mixing the two. This enumeration is meant to
select which backend to use in helpers that should not be shared in the
first place. I've started decoupling the i.MX6 and i.MX7+ code, but it
will still take some time (the work in progress is available at [1] if
anyone is interested). In the meantime I'm OK with this patch, but any
need for additional device identification should be limited to the
imx7-media-csi driver or the i.MX6-specific code, not added to shared
helpers.
