Well, how would you expect a routing table for a device that
supports multiplexing using Virtual Channels to look like?

As far as I got it, even with a single sink and a single source, it
would be:

[SINK/SINK_STREAM -> SOURCE/SOURCE_STREAM]
0/0 -> 1/0
0/0 -> 1/1
0/0 -> 1/2
0/0 -> 1/3

On the previous example, I thought about GMSL-like devices, that can
output the video streams received from different remotes in a
separate virtual channel, at the same time.

A possible routing table in that case would be like:

Pads 0, 1, 2, 3 = SINKS
Pad 4 = SOURCE with 4 streams (1 for each VC)

0/0 -> 4/0
0/0 -> 4/1
0/0 -> 4/2
0/0 -> 4/3
1/0 -> 4/0
1/0 -> 4/1
1/0 -> 4/2
1/0 -> 4/3
2/0 -> 4/0
2/0 -> 4/1
2/0 -> 4/2
2/0 -> 4/3
3/0 -> 4/0
3/0 -> 4/1
3/0 -> 4/2
3/0 -> 4/3

With only one route per virtual channel active at a time.

Does this match your idea?

Yup, I agree!

Thanks, I had a look at the MEDIA_ ioctls yesterday, G_TOPOLOGY in
particular, which uses several pointers to arrays.

Unfortunately, I didn't come up with anything better than using a
translation structure, from the IOCTL layer to the subdevice
operations layer:
https://paste.debian.net/hidden/b192969d/
(sharing a link for early comments, I can send v3 and you can comment
there directly if you prefer to :)

Thanks
