Do you expect that 1. and 2. could depend on the negotiated parameters
in any way on some hardware? I had removed the prepare_stream callback
from my driver in v2 because for my use case at least the above sequence
could be realized by

1. in imx-mipi-csi2 s_power(1)
2. in MIPI sensor s_power(1)
3./4. in imx-mipi-csi2 s_stream(1)
4. in MIPI sensor s_stream(1)

as long as the sensor is correctly put back into LP-11 in s_stream(0).
