There were lots of issues at the media controller side,
after the conversion:
- Some documentation at the header files weren't using the
kernel-doc start block;
- Now, the C files with the exported symbols also need to be
added. So, all headers need to be included twice: one to
get the structs/enums/.. and another one for the functions;
- Notes should use the ReST tag, as kernel-doc doesn't
recognizes it anymore;
- Identation needs to be fixed, as ReST uses it to identify
when a format "tag" ends.
- Fix the cross-references at the media controller description.

struct media_devnode is currently embedded at struct media_device.
While this works fine during normal usage, it leads to a race
condition during devnode unregister. the problem is that drivers
assume that, after calling media_device_unregister(), the struct
that contains media_device can be freed. This is not true, as it
can't be freed until userspace closes all opened /dev/media devnodes.
In other words, if the media devnode is still open, and media_device
gets freed, any call to an ioctl will make the core to try to access
struct media_device, with will cause an use-after-free and even GPF.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the struct media_devnode and only
freeing it when it is safe.

The media device node is registered and so made visible to user-space
before entities are registered and links created which means that the
media graph obtained by user-space could be only partially enumerated
if that happens too early before all the graph has been created.
To avoid this race condition, split the media init and registration
in separate functions and only register the media device node when
all the pending subdevices have been registered, either explicitly
by the driver or asynchronously using v4l2_async_register_subdev().
The media_device_register() had a check for drivers not filling dev
and model fields but all drivers in mainline set them and not doing
it will be a driver bug so change the function return to void and
add a BUG_ON() for dev being NULL instead.
Also, add a media_device_cleanup() function that will destroy the
graph_mutex that is initialized in media_device_init().

The MC next gen API sends objects to userspace grouped by

In the case of pads and links, in order to improve performance

separate linked lists at MC.
If we don't do that, we would need this kind of interaction

for each entity:
for each pad:
store pads
for each entity:
for each link:
store link
for each interface:
for each link:
store link

Currently the media device link_notify callback is invoked before the

after the actual change of state when the link is being disabled.
This doesn't allow a media device driver to perform any operations
on a full graph before a link is disabled, as well as performing

This patch modifies signature of the link_notify callback. This

To distinguish the notifications a 'notification' argument is added
to the link_notify callback: MEDIA_DEV_NOTIFY_PRE_LINK_CH indicates
notification before link's state change and
MEDIA_DEV_NOTIFY_POST_LINK_CH corresponds to a notification after
link flags change.

As video hardware pipelines become increasingly complex and
configurable, the current hardware description through v4l2 subdevices
reaches its limits. In addition to enumerating and configuring
subdevices, video camera drivers need a way to discover and modify at
runtime how those subdevices are connected. This is done through new
elements called entities, pads and links.
An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to
a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices
(CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block
in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical
connectors.
A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with
other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should
not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.
A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either
on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
pad to a sink pad.
Links are stored in the source entity. To make backwards graph walk
faster, a copy of all links is also stored in the sink entity. The copy
is known as a backlink and is only used to help graph traversal.
The entity API is made of three functions:
- media_entity_init() initializes an entity. The caller must provide an
array of pads as well as an estimated number of links. The links array
is allocated dynamically and will be reallocated if it grows beyond the
initial estimate.
- media_entity_cleanup() frees resources allocated for an entity. It
must be called during the cleanup phase after unregistering the entity
and before freeing it.
- media_entity_create_link() creates a link between two entities. An
entry in the link array of each entity is allocated and stores pointers
to source and sink pads.
When a media device is unregistered, all its entities are unregistered
automatically.
The code is based on Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> initial work.
