Agreed, there should be a OF graph representation (and also a MC
representation) of the input PADs.

The tvp5150 driver currently has hardcoded as input TVP5150_COMPOSITE1
(AIP1B), so it won't work for a board that has the composite connector
wired to TVP5150_COMPOSITE0 (AIP1A) neither will work for S-Video
(AIP1A + AIP1B).

Yes, that was my first attempt to have input connector support for
tvp5150. The patches were merged without a detailed review of the DT
bindings and latter were found to be wrong. Instead of having a driver
specific DT binding, a generic binding that could be used by any
device should be defined.

The latest proposal was [0] but that was also found to be inadequate.
After a lot of discussion on #v4l, the best approach we could come
with was something like like [1]. But I was busy with other stuff and
never found time to do the driver changes.

By the way, only the DT bindings portion from the first approach got
reverted but the patch reverting the driver changes never made to
mainline. Could you please test if [2] doesn't cause any issues to you
so the left over can be finally removed?
