Hi Pavel,
My apologies for the delays in reviewing. Feel free to ping me in the future
if this happens. :-)

How generic is this? Should we have e.g. nokia,video-bus-switch? And if so,
change the file name accordingly.

I'd say this must be pretty much specific to the one in N900. You could have
more ports. Or you could say that ports beyond 0 are camera sensors. I guess
this is good enough for now though, it can be changed later on with the
source if a need arises.
Btw. was it still considered a problem that the endpoint properties for the
sensors can be different? With the g_routing() pad op which is to be added,
the ISP driver (should actually go to a framework somewhere) could parse the
graph and find the proper endpoint there.
I don't think we need to wait for that now, but this is how the problem
could be solved going forward.
