As the lines below show, v4l2_async_register_fwnode_subdev() has only two users left --- the other one of which is the IMX driver. After converting these two, we could just remove this API. See e.g. drivers/media/pci/intel/ipu3/ipu3-cio2.c and drivers/media/platform/omap3isp/isp.c for examples. > --- > Changes in v3: > - added the missing calls to unregister/cleanup the new subdev notifiers. > Reported by Rui Silva. > --- > drivers/media/platform/video-mux.c | 8 +++++++- > drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fwnode.c | 11 +---------- > drivers/staging/media/imx/imx6-mipi-csi2.c | 7 ++++++- > drivers/staging/media/imx/imx7-media-csi.c | 7 ++++++- > drivers/staging/media/imx/imx7-mipi-csis.c | 9 ++++++++- > include/media/v4l2-fwnode.h | 12 ++++++++---- > 6 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus
