imx6 is setting bus_info string on all capture devices as:

snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info),
"platform:%s", dev_name(priv->dev));

dev_name(priv->dev) is the device name of the attached subdev.
So the bus_info string, at least for attached CSI subdevs, should
be "platform:imx-ipuv3-csi".

Maybe there is something else missing, I haven't had a chance to
look at this yet.
