Before I merge this patch series I wanted to know if Sakari's async work
that has now been merged (see https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg124082.html)
affects this patch series.

It still applies cleanly, but I wondered if the subnotifier improvements
would simplify this driver.

Of course, any such simplification can also be done after this series has
been applied, but I don't know what your thoughts are on this.

Regards,
