Re: [PATCH v7 0/3] media: v4l2-subdev: Verify arguments in v4l2_subdev_call()

[Niklas Söderlund]

Hi,

This patch breaks rcar-vin. I'm sorry I did not find out before it was 
merged as a8fa55078a7784a9 ("media: v4l2-subdev: Verify arguments in 
v4l2_subdev_call()").

The problem is that rcar-vin calls enum_mbus_code in its bound callback.  
At this point call_enum_mbus_code() is invoked which then calls 
check_pad(). At this point sd->entity.graph_obj.mdev is not set so the 
check if (pad > 0) fails and the binding of the subdevice in rcar-vin 
fails.

I'm not sure how to best solve this, suggestions are appreciated. I see 
two options, move the call to enum_mbus_code from the bound to the 
complete callback or make sure the mdev is associated with the subdev 
before the bound callback is invoked. I don't like the former as I think 
the complete callback should be removed ;-)
