[PATCH 1/2] media: qcom: camss: Fix pipeline lock leak in stop_streaming

[Saikiran]

When a browser or application closes the camera, if any subdevice fails
to stop streaming, video_stop_streaming() returns early without calling
video_device_pipeline_stop(). This leaves the pipeline permanently locked,
preventing any future camera access until reboot.

Fix this by logging errors but continuing to stop all remaining subdevices
and always releasing the pipeline lock, even when errors occur during the
stop sequence.

[PATCH 2/2] media: i2c: ov02c10: Check for errors in disable_streams

[Saikiran]

The ov02c10_disable_streams() function ignores the return value from
cci_write() when stopping the sensor. If the I2C write fails (e.g.,
due to CCI timeout, power management race, or device removal), the
error is silently lost.

While we still need to return 0 and call pm_runtime_put() regardless
of hardware state (to prevent PM reference leaks and pipeline lock
issues), we should at least log when the hardware stop fails.

This change:
1. Captures the cci_write() return value
2. Logs an error if the write fails
3. Still returns 0 to ensure proper cleanup

Returning an error from disable_streams would cause the camss driver's
video_stop_streaming() to exit early without releasing the pipeline
lock, permanently locking the camera.
