Add a managed token resource that can be created at device level which can be used as a large grain lock by diverse group of drivers such as the media drivers that share a resource. Token resource manages a unique named string resource which is derived from common bus_name, and hardware address fields from the struct device. au0828 is changed to use token devres as a large locking for exclusive access to tuner function. A new tuner_tkn field is added to struct au0828_dev. Tuner token is created from au0828 probe() and destroyed from disconnect(). Two new routines au0828_create_token_resources() and au0828_destroy_token_resources() create and destroy the tuner token. au0828-dvb exports the tuner token to dvb-frontend when it registers the digital frontend using the tuner_tkn field in struct dvb_frontend. au0828-video exports the tuner token to v4l2-core when it registers the analog function using tuner_tkn field in struct video_device. Before this change: - digital tv app disrupts an active analog app when it tries to use the tuner e.g: tvtime analog video stream stops when kaffeine starts - analog tv app disrupts another analog app when it tries to use the tuner e.g: tvtime audio glitches when xawtv starts and vice versa. - analog tv app disrupts an active digital app when it tries to use the tuner e.g: kaffeine digital stream stops when tvtime starts - digital tv app disrupts another digital tv app when it tries to use the tuner e.g: kaffeine digital stream stops when vlc starts and vice versa After this change: - digital tv app detects tuner is busy without disrupting the active app. - analog tv app detects tuner is busy without disrupting the active analog app. - analog tv app detects tuner is busy without disrupting the active digital app. - digital tv app detects tuner is busy without disrupting the active digital app. Requesting feedback on any use-cases I missed and overall approach to solving the contention between media functions.
