[media] v4l: Add a media_device pointer to the v4l2_device structure
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The pointer will later be used to register/unregister media entities
when registering/unregistering a v4l2_subdev or a video_device.

With the introduction of media devices, device drivers need to store a
pointer to a driver-specific structure in the device's drvdata.
v4l2_device can't claim ownership of the drvdata anymore.

To maintain compatibility with drivers that rely on v4l2_device storing
a pointer to itself in the device's drvdata, v4l2_device_register() will
keep doing so if the drvdata is NULL.

Registration will initialize the v4l2_device struct and link dev->driver_data
to v4l2_dev. If v4l2_dev->name is empty then it will be set to a value derived
from dev (driver name followed by the bus_id, to be precise). If you set it
up before calling v4l2_device_register then it will be untouched. If dev is
NULL, then you *must* setup v4l2_dev->name before calling v4l2_device_register.
Registration will initialize the v4l2_device struct. If the dev->driver_data
field is NULL, it will be linked to v4l2_dev. Drivers that use the media
device framework in addition to the V4L2 framework need to set
dev->driver_data manually to point to the driver-specific device structure
that embed the struct v4l2_device instance. This is achieved by a
dev_set_drvdata() call before registering the V4L2 device instance.

You can use v4l2_device_set_name() to set the name based on a driver name and
a driver-global atomic_t instance. This will generate names like ivtv0, ivtv1,

If the dev->driver_data field points to v4l2_dev, it will be reset to NULL.
Unregistering will also automatically unregister all subdevs from the device.
