[PATCH 2/2] v4l: Add a v4l2_subdev host private data field

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The existing priv field stores subdev private data owned by the subdev
driver. Host (bridge) drivers might need to store per-subdev
host-specific data, such as a pointer to platform data.

Add a v4l2_subdev host_priv field to store host-specific data, and
rename the existing priv field to dev_priv.

 common i2c_client struct the i2c_set_clientdata() call is used to store a
 v4l2_subdev pointer, for other busses you may have to use other methods.
 
+Bridges might also need to store per-subdev private data, such as a pointer to
+bridge-specific per-subdev private data. The v4l2_subdev structure provides
+host private data for that purpose that can be accessed with
+v4l2_get_subdev_hostdata() and v4l2_set_subdev_hostdata().

 From the bridge driver perspective you load the sub-device module and somehow
 obtain the v4l2_subdev pointer. For i2c devices this is easy: you call
 i2c_get_clientdata(). For other busses something similar needs to be done.
