You could s/= {}/{}
but it's minor

we're rather working in the direction of making SensorInfo never fail.
I think you can drop this todo and hard fail here as if you have a
failure, it's because something bad happened when reading controls or
selection targets.

Is this ok if one of the two streams (likely vfStream_) is not
assigned ?

This seems like it can't happen at the moment, but it's ok

I think the fact that returning 1 in data[0] means success should be
documented in the IPA protocol. Ah wait, we don't have one.

sigh

we should get the sensor database in sooner than later and move this
to the camera sensor before the same patter spread in multiple
pipelines

Overall, that's a good starting point
