Subject: [PATCH v16 01/22] media: mc: Add INTERNAL pad flag
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:21:20 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831-gmsl2-3_serdes-v16-1-4fa6e08bb514@analog.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831-gmsl2-3_serdes-v16-0-4fa6e08bb514@analog.com>

From: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>

Internal sink pads will be used as routing endpoints in V4L2 [GS]_ROUTING
IOCTLs, to indicate that the stream begins in the entity. Internal sink
pads are pads that have both SINK and INTERNAL flags set.

Also prevent creating links to pads that have been flagged as internal and
initialising SOURCE pads with INTERNAL flag set.
