Well, there are indeed corner cases looming ahead where a driver might not have enough information on what to parse and what not to. What I'd still do is to proceed with what likely addresses more than 95 % of the cases imaginable, and all we have today. In the future setting up async sub-devices and parsing endpoints need to be separated. With that, drivers won't need to know anymore which ports to parse and which ones not. Creating links to the newly V4L2 async registered sub-devices could be added to this. This will be more complicated than just expressing an idea though. :-) -- Regards, Sakari Ailus sakari.ailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
