The whole series was posted to the linux-media ML, see [1]. At the time, 
none of the linux-media ML archives had the whole series.

"internal subdevs of sensor devices" ?? That doesn't make any sense.

Sensors are external to the SoC, there are no "internal" sensor devices.

Not sure what you mean by "binding" either in this context, but external 
sensors can connect via fwnode endpoint, and later translated to media 
link, to the receiver CSI-2 sink.
