Yes this needs fixing, the CSI needs to check first that it is already 
registered before going through the ->registered() steps. Posting a patch.

I do test module unload/reload cycles, but v4l2-async does not support 
re-registering subdevices unless the subdevice is basically completely 
removed and re-probed, so there won't be a working media device if only 
imx-media is reloaded. So I have always unloaded/reloaded all modules 
for every entity in the graph, i.e.:

rmmod imx6_media imx6_media_csi imx6_mipi_csi2 ov5640 video_mux 
imx_media_common

(replace ov5640 with your imx219 sensor).

But I'll make sure to test single module unload/reload cycles in the future.

But note after applying the patch mentioned above to CSI ->registered() 
callback, there are list corruption backtraces, see [1]. The root cause 
is that both media_device_register_entity() and media_entity_pads_init() 
add the same graph objects for the entity's pads, so duplicate pad 
objects are added to the media device pads list. Removing the pad object 
creation in media_device_register_entity() fixes the list corruption. 
Sending a patch for that also.

This is a problem for any entity that sets its ->num_pads to a non-zero 
value before media_device_register_entity() is called. For example, the 
following will produce the same list corruption backtrace:

rmmod video-mux
modprobe video-mux
rmmod video-mux
