This doesn't help:

$ ls -Al /dev/v4l/by-id/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 12 19:54 usb-Sonix_Technology_Co.__Ltd._USB_2.0_Camera-video-index0 -> ../../video10

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 12 19:54 platform-ci_hdrc.0-usb-0:1:1.0-video-index0 -> ../../video10

The problem is the "platform-capture-subsystem-video-index" entries.
These themselves change order.  For instance, I now have:

- entity 72: ipu1_csi0 capture (1 pad, 1 link)
             type Node subtype V4L flags 0
             device node name /dev/video6

which means it's platform-capture-subsystem-video-index4.  Before, it
was platform-capture-subsystem-video-index2.
