Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the update.

I think I'd rather change this so that ancillary links are created for lens
and flash subdevs, independently of the function of the notifier subdev.

Are there cases where this would go wrong currently, or in the future? I
can't think of any right now at least. I guess we could add more
information in the future to convey here if needed.

How about calling this v4l2_async_create_ancillary_links()?

The notifier's bound function has been called already. The unbound function
needs to be thus called here, too.
