Hi Niklas,

Thanks for your review.

sure, I'll update it.

right, I'm not familiar with rcar-vin, I didn't know we had drivers using more then
a sink link to subdevices that could be enabled at the same time.

v1 of this patchset was returning all the nodes with enabled links going from sink to 
source, but in reverse order.

I guess I can re-work v1, and add a flag to return in reverse order, I'll check.

we can do that, sure.

Only if we move this print before the "continue" above, otherwise it will always print 1.

Thanks,
