Hi Mauro,

Many thanks for the thorough review of the set!

Indeed. You'll first have to call media_entity_enum_cleanup().

It's the responsibility of the user of this interface (i.e. driver and the
framework) to ensure that the enum is large enough to contain all the
entities. Allowing dynamic updates to the graph does indeed open a can of
worms and I'd prefer to keep that can sealed for a bit longer.

I think it makes sense to allocate from stack (or otherwise statically) if
the need is not much, which means the vast majority of the users. As the
maximum is only 64, this means eight bytes.

Grabbing that eight bytes from stack is certainly faster than calling
kmalloc() in any case.

Such as... bits? :-)

Yes, it'll do the "right" thing. But is that still what the user wanted?
Very probably not.

I'd like to see first such use case related to entities. Then it could be
removed IMO.
