Steve, Sakari,

Any progress on this? The imx7 patch series depends on this so that can't
move forward until this is merged.

Hi Hans, I've been working on the updates and will submit v4 today.

This patchset converts the imx-media driver and its dependent
subdevs to use subdev notifiers.

There are a couple shortcomings in v4l2-core that prevented
subdev notifiers from working correctly in imx-media:

1. v4l2_async_notifier_fwnode_parse_endpoint() treats a fwnode
    endpoint that is not connected to a remote device as an error.
    But in the case of the video-mux subdev, this is not an error,
    it is OK if some of the mux inputs have no connection. Also,
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt explicitly
    states that the 'remote-endpoint' property is optional. So the first
    patch is a small modification to ignore empty endpoints in
    v4l2_async_notifier_fwnode_parse_endpoint() and allow
    __v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_endpoints() to continue to
    parse the remaining port endpoints of the device.

2. In the imx-media graph, multiple subdevs will encounter the same
    upstream subdev (such as the imx6-mipi-csi2 receiver), and so
    v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_endpoints() will add imx6-mipi-csi2
    multiple times. This is treated as an error by
    v4l2_async_notifier_register() later.

    To get around this problem, add an v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev()
    which first verifies the provided asd does not already exist in the
    given notifier asd list or in other registered notifiers. If the asd
    exists, the function returns -EEXIST and it's up to the caller to
    decide if that is an error (in imx-media case it is never an error).

    Patches 2-4 deal with adding that support.

3. Patch 5 adds v4l2_async_register_fwnode_subdev(), which is a
    convenience function for parsing a subdev's fwnode port endpoints
    for connected remote subdevs, registering a subdev notifier, and
    then registering the sub-device itself.

The remaining patches update the subdev drivers to register a
subdev notifier with endpoint parsing, and the changes to imx-media
to support that.

History:
v3:
- code optimization in asd_equal(), and remove unneeded braces,
   suggested by Sakari Ailus.
- add a NULL asd pointer check to v4l2_async_notifier_asd_valid().
- fix an error-out path in v4l2_async_register_fwnode_subdev() that
   forgot to put device.

v2:
- don't pass an empty endpoint to the parse_endpoint callback,
   v4l2_async_notifier_fwnode_parse_endpoint() now just ignores them
   and returns success.
- Fix a couple compile warnings and errors seen in i386 and sh archs.
