Hi Hans,
I found struct media_pipeline actually is completely empty and I assume we use that to control all the entities belonging to one media_pipeline.
media_pipeline should contains either all the media_link or all the media_entity. How come an empty struct can provide those information?
It's basically an empty base class to speak in C++ terminology.
See drivers/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-dma.h on how it is used there.
Laurent Pinchart knows a lot more about it than I do, though.
Hi Laurent,
I have a subdev media entity which have 4 media pads.
pad[0] is sink and pad[1] is source, these 2 pads belong to the first
media pipeline
pad[2] is sink and pad[3] is source, these 2 pads belong to the second
media pipeline
Actually our hardware Tegra has 3 these kind of entities, so totally we
have 6 media pipelines like 6 dma channels.
How to handle that with media pipeline framework? I saw in xilinx driver
it just has one pipeline which is shared by several DMA channels, right?

What about following ideas?
1. when media_entity_create_links, it will return a media_link pointer.
2. we save this media_link pointer into the media_pipeline
3. use this media_pipeline for start streaming, stop streaming and validate links.
Maybe I miss something during recent media controller changes.
Thanks,
-Bryan
