Thanks, I have not located the patch! I was just surprised I observed some behavior in async when hacking which seemed like this patch was present but I could not find it in the tree :-) > > Hi Sakari, > > Niklas was asking me about this patch, as it's required for our async work - and > it bit him when he realised this patch wasn't in his tree after a rebase. This is currently not a requirement for the async work I do. I was trying out if the rcar-csi2 driver could use the new fwnode helpers to parse DT to setup its sub-notifier. I did the tests using the adv748x as the upstream subdevice, and as you know it registers it subdevices using endpoints and not the parent node, hence I ran into trouble with the helper functions and I ended up searching for this patch. I'm not blocked by this, and I currently don't plan to work more on this as the rcar-csi2 driver can use its own parsing code as before and it's rather small. But of course if somewhere in the future the helper learns about endpoints and not just the remote parent node the rcar-csi2 driver would be a nice candidate to switch to such a helper.
