I'd rather get a patch that drops streaming handling :-) It's fine
carrying a local patch in the Librem5 kernel to work around the problem
until a proper fix is available, but do we have a need to get the
workaround in mainline too ?

When it comes to a proper fix, it may be as simple as manually calling
device_link_add() in consumer (e.g. the CSI-2 receiver) drivers to
create links to suppliers(e.g. the camera sensor). The PM core should
then guarantee that the consumer gets suspended before the producer.
Would you be able to test that ?
