Was the entire series copied to the mailing lists, or just selected
patches? I only saw 4, 9, 11 and 13-22 via lakml.

The whole series was posted to the linux-media ML, see [1]. At the time, none of the linux-media ML archives had the whole series.

In the absence of the other patches, will this solve imx-media binding
the internal subdevs of sensor devices to the CSI2 interface?

"internal subdevs of sensor devices" ?? That doesn't make any sense.

Sensors are external to the SoC, there are no "internal" sensor devices.

Not sure what you mean by "binding" either in this context, but external sensors can connect via fwnode endpoint, and later translated to media link, to the receiver CSI-2 sink.
