Hi Rob,

Once again sorry for the late response and thank you for your feedback.

Actually we do use an external DMA controller directly connected to the CSI-2
Host controller, although, like you said, we use it for HW validation.

I "created" the video-device in order to remove the DMA engine control from the
CSI-2 Host driver, in order to make it more useful to other people.
