Thanks for the review.
I've tested this on PinePhone A64. It uses DVP, maybe because of that
system suspend/resume worked good in my case.
Originally I've implemented system suspend/resume similar to this [1]
or [2] as I've seen this approach in other mainlined drivers. But some
drivers reuse pm_runtime_force_* helpers, so I've went with this.
Do you think it would be better to use something like [2] until there
is better well defined way for system suspend/resume for complex cameras?

.. as Sakari suggested, the driver handling the DMA should be in
charge of calling s_stream() on the sensor subdev in its
suspend/resume handlers. There's the risk the receiver resumes while
the sensor is still suspended, and at this time there's no solution in
mainline to handle this correctly.
Laurent/Sakari, how should this be handled for the time being ?
Laurent's patch for imx219 (and his forthcoming patch to remove the
same pattern from all sensor drivers in mainline) might be opening th
door for unexpected bugs as long as we don't enforce a resume/suspend
ordering ?

Can we get a link to the receiver driver you're using in your kernel ?
Thanks

device_link() should handle this. See mxc_isi_async_notifier_bound() in
drivers/media/platform/nxp/imx8-isi/imx8-isi-core.c.
It would be nice if this could be done in the V4L2 core. I haven't
checked if that's possible.

I'd argue that the bugs are there already, at least for CSI-2 sensors
the use a continuous clock. If you resume streaming on the sensor first,
the clock lane will switch to HS mode before the receiver gets resumed,
and the receiver won't be able to synchronize.
System suspend/resume tends to be badly tested in camera sensor drivers,
so lots of bugs creep in :-(
