[PATCH RFC 0/3] vpif capture support for async subdevice probing

From: Lad, Prabhakar
Date: Wed Jan 09 2013 - 08:41:30 EST


This patch series adds support for vpif capture driver to support
asynchronously register subdevices. The second patch add support for
tvp514x decoder to support v4l-async and the last patch adds support
for da850 evm to support v4l-async for vpif capture.

This patch is based on v4l2-async patch
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg58420.html) from Guennadi.

Need for this support:
Currently bridge device drivers register devices for all subdevices
synchronously, tupically, during their probing. E.g. if an I2C CMOS sensor
is attached to a video bridge device, the bridge driver will create an I2C
device and wait for the respective I2C driver to probe. This makes linking
of devices straight forward, but this approach cannot be used with
intrinsically asynchronous and unordered device registration systems like
the Flattened Device Tree.

Similar impletation is to be done for vpif disaply, based on review comments
on this series.

Lad, Prabhakar (3):
davinci: vpif: capture: add V4L2-async support
tvp514x: support asynchronous probing
ARM: da850/omap-l138: vpif capture convert to asynchronously register
of subdev
