Agreed.

I would add that we shouldn't attempt to be 100% perfect in automatically
creating links. If we can do 80-90% of the drivers that way, then that would
be great. The remaining drivers will then need to be modified manually.

As mentioned in the other patch: why can't you create the interface for subdevs
as well?

I'm missing changes to v4l2_device_release() to clean up the interface and
entity.
