The information on how many async sub-devices would be bindable to a notifier is typically dependent on information from platform firmware and it's not driver's business to be aware of that. Many V4L2 main drivers are perfectly usable (and useful) without async sub-devices and so if there aren't any around, just proceed call the notifier's complete callback immediately without registering the notifier itself. If a driver needs to check whether there are async sub-devices available, it can be done by inspecting the notifier's num_subdevs field which tells the number of async sub-devices.
