Add a helper function to set the subdev routing. The helper can be used
from subdev driver's set_routing op to store the routing table.

Calling this function doesn't make much sense if the subdev doesn't have
the V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_MULTIPLEXED set, right ? If that's correct, should
this be documented below, and/or possibly checked here ?

	if (WARN_ON(!(sd->flags & V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_MULTIPLEXED)))
		return -E???;

That is true, but it's true for all the functions introduced in the
series. Do we want to add the check everywhere? In many cases this
should be quite obvious: if you haven't ported the subdev driver to the
new API, you don't have routing table, and can't sensibly call this
function. Or you don't have stream ID, so you can't sensibly call
functions that take a stream number.

That's right. I was mostly concern about driver conversion, it's likely
easy to forget to add V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_MULTIPLEXED and then spend time
debugging issues.

I'm fine either way for the WARN_ON, but would still like to capture
this in the documentation.

There are perhaps two easy things to miss, adding V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_MULTIPLEXED and calling v4l2_subdev_init_finalize(). Maybe I can add some checks to catch these two.

+	kvfree(dst->routes);
+	dst->routes = NULL;
+	dst->num_routes = 0;
+
+	if (src->num_routes > 0) {
+		dst->routes = kvmalloc_array(src->num_routes,
+					     sizeof(*src->routes), GFP_KERNEL);

How many routes do we typically expect, is it worth a vmalloc ? If not,

I have to say I have no clue if it's worth it. vmalloc is used for the
pads, and was used in the original routing patches. I did wonder about
this but just went with what's already there.

It's not easy to guess the expected number of routes. I'd say... 4 pads
on each side and 8 streams per pad-pair sounds kind of a lot but still
sounds feasible. That would be 32 routes. But that would be on the
maximum side. On average, I guess we'll have... 1 or 2 routes? That's
wha the sensors will have.

kmemdup() could be a candidate (as I think by the time we get here,
num_routes should have been validated to not overflow, but please tell
me if I got this part wrong).

I'm not sure what you mean here. We are allocating (enough) new memory,
it will never overflow.

I mean an integer overflow in the size * nelems calculation. The array
allocation functions pay special attention to this.

check_array_args() gives an error if there are more than 256 routes. It also does a copy of the userspace's routing table to a kvmalloc'd buffer (which is the source here), which, in case of overflow, would then already be broken. But the limit of 256 feels safe enough even if in the future the struct v4l2_subdev_route would grow a bit.
