[PATCH 1/9] media: rzg2l-cru: Add device_link from CRU to CSI-2

From: Tommaso Merciai

Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 13:07:45 EST


The CRU device depends on CSI-2 to operate. Without an explicit
device_link the PM core has no knowledge of this dependency and may
suspend CSI-2 while CRU is still active, or resume CRU before CSI-2
is ready.

Add a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device_link from the CRU to CSI-2 when the
CSI-2 subdev binds. This instructs the PM core to suspend CRU before
CSI-2 and to resume CSI-2 before CRU. The link is deleted on unbind.
