Hi Jacopo,

Thank you for the patch.

Instead of going back and forth, would it make sense to incerase the
channel amplitude here, and call the init() subdev operation in a loop
over all cameras ?

Otherwise the patch looks good to me, but I agree with Kieran that it
should probably be squashed with 13/16.
