It's much better to do the right thing than to start corrupting system memory sooner or later. In the future we'll need to be able to dynamically register device nodes after the registration of the original device nodes in a media device has completed anyway. I don't think this would be the means for that though. What happens here though is that both the video bus switch and isp notifiers completing will call the function, thus ending up trying to register many of the nodes twice. Philipp had a different approach to the problem --- postponing the complete until add the sub-devices have been bound. The patch is called "v4l2-async: allow subdevices to add further subdevices to the notifier waiting list". -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus e-mail: sakari.ailus@xxxxxx XMPP: sailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
