 This loads the given module (can be NULL if no module needs to be loaded) and
 calls i2c_new_device() with the given i2c_adapter and chip/address arguments.
 If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with the v4l2_device.

-v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(), except that it has an array of possible I2C addresses

+You can also use the last argument of v4l2_i2c_new_subdev() to pass an array
