From: Shuah Khan <shuah@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch series has been on the ice for the last couple of years. Mauro asked me to restart the discussion on this and see if we can make progress. I rebased the series to Linux 4.19. It has been surprisingly well preserved with one small merge conflict resolved in 0004. Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device. Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all the references are released. - No changes to 0001,0002 code since the v7 referenced below. - 0003 is a new patch to enable ALSA defines that have been disabled for kernel between 4.9 and 4.19. - Minor merge conflict resolution in 0004. - Added SPDX to new files. References: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg105854.html Please review. I am sending this as RFC even though it has been tested several times prior to this non-event rebased v8. I ran sanity tests.
