[PATCH v5 0/3] [media] Fix race between graph enumeration and entities registration

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

This series fixes the issue of media device nodes being registered before
all the media entities and pads links are created so if user-space tries
to enumerate the graph too early, it may get a partial graph enumeration
since everything may not been registered yet.

The solution (suggested by Sakari Ailus) is to separate the media device
registration from the initialization so drivers can first initialize the
media device, create the graph and then finally register the media device
node once is finished.

This is the fifth version of the series and is a rebase on top of latest
MC next gen and the only important change is the addition of patch 3/3.

Patch #1 adds a check to the media_device_unregister() function to know if
the media device has been registed yet so calling it will be safe and the
cleanup functions of the drivers won't need to be changed in case register
failed.

Patch #2 does the init and registration split, changing all the drivers to
make the change atomic and also adds a cleanup function for media devices.

Patch #3 sets a topology version 0 at media device registration to allow
user-space to know that the graph is "static" (i.e: no graph updates after
the media device was registered).

Best regards,
Javier
