I am not clear about some of your comments. Please see below with a [MK] prefix.

[MK] I know this code is not correct. But I was waiting for the discussion on my bus parameter patch to make this change. Currently TVP514x driver that you have reviewed configure output bus based on route->output parameter set by s_route(). This doesn't make sense. The input param make sense since application can choose between Composite and S-Video inputs. There is only one bus going out of the sub device to vpfe. So the output selection @ sub device is redundant. I think the output is part of as the bus parameter structure I added in the bus parameter patch which is under review. It can be read by TVP514x from the platform data (using the structure added by my patch) and can be overridden by s_bus(). Do you expect the bridge driver and sub devices having platform data for bus type (For example, BT.656)? It appears to be required only for sub device and bridge driver can configure the ccdc based on sub device bus type.  But for polarities I need to define them for both sides. comments?

[MK] What you mean by this? Are you saying an FPGA logic will implement the decoder hardware? That is quite possible, so also it could be non-i2c. But my understanding was that sub device can be anything that basically implement the sub device API and need not always be an i2c device. So for FPGA or some other bus based device, the bridge device doesn't care how the command to change input, detect standard etc are communicated by the sub device driver to its hardware. It could be writing into some FPGA register or sending a proprietary protocol command. Is my understanding correct? In that case each of the above (FPGA or non-i2c) is a sub device and at least one sub device should be available before application can do any useful operation with the capture device. So the check is required. Am I missing something here?

[MK] Looks like it is better to add it to TBD and address it when I add camera interface support.
