Agree with Lucas here, let's create the capture list on probe and store
it somewhere in the device data. On ADS population this more or less
turns into a memcpy (or after Lucas's series a dma-buf-map call). And on
fini, just free to stored data. The create capture list IMO is fine to
be done in an external file and return the data to the ADS code but
let's make sure everyone is on board with that. Maybe ping Lucas
directly about this?
Specific patch Lucas's is referencing:
