[PATCH v2 00/31] Separate links and async sub-devices

[Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>]

Hi all,

This set adds support for multiple downstream links in an async
sub-device, by separating the sub-device registration from the link
creation.

A new concept, V4L2 async connection is added. A connection later on
translates to an MC ancillary or data link. Generally async notifiers have
a number of connections but at that level there is no knowledge of how
many sub-devices they will connect to. The bound and unbound callbacks now
work on connections. For the existing drivers there's only one connection
so I do not expect regressions because of that.

Async sub-device fwnode matching will now take place between the device
(the dev field of struct v4l2_subdev) and a struct v4l2_async_connection
(an endpoint for devices that have endpoints or the device for those that
do not). This is because the graph data structure only describes
point-to-point connections so therefore defining one end of the connection
defines the entire connection.

This set is unlikely to address all needs people have related to the async
framework but I think that beyond what it does, it paves some way for
addressing more of those additional needs.

To be frank, I'd like to get rid of the entire V4L2 async framework, but
it would require allowing much more dynamic driver initialisation,
including sub-devices and device nodes popping up in the system in the
order and extent there is successfully probed hardware. Until that, and
this may well be the entire foreseeable future, we have at least some of
this complexity.

since v1:

- Fixed object relation issues. The set has now been tested on an
  async sub-device with two pads connected by data links to sub-devices on
  a notifier (struct) device. (Multiple notifiers should work, too, but
  has not been tested.)

- Add a function to obtain an async connection based on the sub-device.
  This is useful for drivers for accessing their own link specific data.

- Improved documentation. Include a patch documenting
  v4l2_async_nf_add_fwnode().

- Return endpoint matching and address adv748x driver breakage in v1. It's
  a special case so other drivers can remain simpler.

- Swap notifier initialisation arguments, by making the notifier the first
  argument.

- Remove extra fwnode_handle_put() in max9286_v4l2_unregister().

- Make struct device available before notifier initialisation for
  consistent debug messages.

- Simplify notifier and async sub-device linked lists. Consistent list
  head and list entry naming.

- Drop leftovers from an early experimenation work in rkisp1 and omap3isp
  drivers.

- Simplify xilinx-vipp sub-device binding.

- Use if()s in notifier_dev() of v4l2-async.c.

- Improved debug messages in v4l2-async.c, use v4l2-async prefix and
  generally with notifier device.

- Call match types with macros V4L2_ASYNC_MATCH_TYPE_* (was
  V4L2_ASYNC_MATCH_*).

- Create ancillary links only when the sub-device is registered, not when
  a connection is bound (which can take place more than once for a
  sub-device).

- Rename struct v4l2_async_match as v4l2_async_match_desc.

- Perform list initialisation in notifier init rather than registration.

- Get rid of the "readd" parameter for v4l2_async_nf_unbind_all_subdevs().

- Check async sub-device validity on a notifier only when the notifier is
  registered. This removes extra list traversal and simplifies the code.

- Remove extra list initialisation in v4l2_async_register_subdev().

- Drop v4l2_async_cleanup(). It was no longer useful, called from a single
  place.

- Lots of kerneldoc fixes (mostly changed argument names).

since RFC v1:

- Address missing API usage changes in a lot of drivers.

- Fix compilation problems in intermediate patches.

- Move V4L2 device registration earlier or move notifier initialisation
  and fwnode endpoint parsing past the current V4L2 device registration
  (patches 11--16).
