[RFC 00/10] Separate links and async sub-devices

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

 



Hi all,

This set adds support for multiple downstream links in an async sub-device,
by separating the sub-device registration from the link creation.

A new concept, V4L2 async connection is added. Generally async notifiers
have a number of connections but at that level there is no knowledge of how
many sub-devices they will connect to. The bound and unbound callbacks now
work on connections. For the existing drivers there's only one connection so
I do not expect regressions because of that.

Async sub-device fwnode matching will now take place between the device (the
dev field of struct v4l2_subdev) and a struct v4l2_async_connection (an
endpoint for devices that have endpoints or the device for those that do
not). This is because the graph data structure only describes point-to-point
connections so therefore defining one end of the connection defines the
entire connection.

I'll still go through the documentation to make sure it's appropriately
modified.

I'm also posting this as an RFC as I would think more testing will be
required. There could be breakages in the intermediate patches. But feel
free to comment.

This set is unlikely to address all needs people have related to the async
framework but I think that beyond what it does, it paves some way for
addressing more of those additional needs.

To be frank, I'd like to get rid of the entire V4L2 async framework, but it
would require allowing much more dynamic driver initialisation, including
sub-devices and device nodes popping up in the system in the order and
extent there is successfully probed hardware. Until that, and this may well
be the entire foreseeable future, we have at least some of this complexity.

There's a bugfix, too, in the first patch. That should be merged separately.
The rest depends on it so I'm sending it as part of the set.
