We have this CPLD init API - evm_init_cpld() called from the dm365_evm_init() 
function. The CPLD init API was trying to initialize the CPLD, based on the 
default configuration. I believe David Brownell had this placeholder for 
have_imager() and have_tvp7002() APIs since, we have different CPLD settings 
for the imager, tvp7002 and tvp5146 for the video input source.

We can decide on the default video input source to be TVP5146. However we do 
not need a new callback function. We already have the VPFE .setup_input 
callback API dm365evm_setup_video_input() for the same purpose. The VPFE 
.setup_input API is called when each of the decoders (sub-devices) registered 
with VPFE capture driver. It is also called when the application decides on an 
input source and switches between the input sources.

So, TVP5146 remains as the default video input source, only until VPFE probe is 
called, which registers the all decoders (sub-devices) defined in the VPFE 
platform data. This also means that the last decoder in the VPFE platform data 
remains active after boot-up. One can change the order in the VPFE platform 
data if a particular input source needs to remain active after boot-up. Note 
that application can always switch the input-source at run time.

I quickly tried removing the have_imager() construct in the evm_init_cpld() and 
here is the output -

As you can see, the default video input source is TVP5146 and it has been video 
input source has been switched to TVP7002.
