This was the patch that I had believed was accepted, but ended up stuck
in Sakari's tree:

https://git.linuxtv.org/sailus/media_tree.git/commit/?h=fwnode-const&id=35c32d99b2c3f5086b911ec817926de9b7bc3b41

(it's already a little bit-rotted though)

So if an 'old' receiver wants to use the 'new' features, it must upgrade
to endpoint matching.

I think that's fine.

Indeed, a notification that they need to update their matching would be
useful in that scenario.

I believe we need to move forward with this somehow, as we have Xilinx
trying to use MAX9286 with Xilinx drivers, (endpoint matching subdev
with dev node matching receiver) and Renesas trying to use non-endpoint
subdevices against an endpoint matched RCar-VIN ...?

Yes, Is there anything else we can do? Even if we 'started' converting
other receivers to match on endpoints, it would take time - so I think
an intermediate stage like this is still very useful.

Of course this patch also lets us push the updates back to those who
care about those drivers too ...

Ok, so this looks like a good safety check for edge cases which would
potentially have got through in my version.

It seems in my implementation these got leaked too :-)

I'm sold. This one is better than the old version I had.

Hopefully we can get this moving so that we can progress towards
endpoint matching throughout next.

(Ideally with a warning to convert non-endpoint matching drivers...)
