That's the second part of the media patches. It contains the media controller
next generation patches, with is the result of one year of discussions and
development. It also contains patches to enable media controller support
at the DVB subsystem.
The goal is to improve the media controller to allow proper support for
other types of Video4Linux devices (radio and TV ones) and to extend the
media controller functionality to allow it to be used by other subsystems
like DVB, ALSA and IIO.
In order to use the new functionality, a new ioctl is needed
(MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY). As we're still discussing how to pack the struct
fields of this ioctl in order to avoid compat32 issues, I decided to add
a patch at the end of this series commenting out the new ioctl, in order
to postpone the addition of the new ioctl to the next Kernel version (4.6).
With that, no userspace visible changes should happen at the media
controller API, as the existing ioctls are untouched. Yet, it helps
DVB, ALSA and IIO developers to develop and test the patches adding media
controller support there, as the core will contain all required internal
changes to allow adding support for devices that belong to those
subsystems.

Mauro

[media] Postpone the addition of MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY (2016-01-11 12:35:17 -0200)
After merging this into mainline, I get the BUG_ON() and crash I reported ca.
one month ago in "vsp1 BUG_ON() and crash (Re: [PATCH v9 03/12] media:
Entities, pads and links)" ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/14/373).
Not sure what happened here, as this was supposed to have fixed already.
I'll ask Javier to take a look into it and work with you for us to get it
fixed ASAP.
There was a bug in my patch that split the entities registration and links
creation. I posted a fix that was already been tested by Geert:
