From: Akihiro Tsukada <tskd08@gmail.com>

Define a standard interface for demod/tuner i2c driver modules.
A module client calls dvb_i2c_attach_{fe,tuner}(),
and a module driver defines struct dvb_i2c_module_param and
calls DEFINE_DVB_I2C_MODULE() macro.

This template provides implicit module requests and ref-counting,
alloc/free's private data structures,
fixes the usage of clientdata of i2c devices,
and defines the platformdata structures for passing around
device specific config/output parameters between drivers and clients.
These kinds of code are common to (almost) all dvb i2c drivers/client,
but they were scattered over adapter modules and demod/tuner modules.

Changes in v3:
- removed demod i2c client out of struct dvb_frontend*

Moikka!
I am a bit reluctant for adding general glue like that.

Basically the issue is registering I2C driver and after that reference 
counting it as there is dvb frontend ops which are called.

Did you make study how the others have resolved that issue? Could you 
list already used methods?

regards
Antti

Moikka,
thank you for the comment.
(and sorry for the late reply. I was off from work until recently.)

> Basically the issue is registering I2C driver and after that reference counting it as there is dvb frontend ops which are called.

In current DVB drivers, "struct dvb_frontend"s can be alloc'ed in two places,
in FE driver itself and in the client(adapter) driver,
but the patch alloc's the struct dvb_frontned in the probe() helper function,
so you cannot access frontend ops before registering the driver module. 

The probe() helper function ref-counts the driver module as well,
so from clients' point of views,
the driver registering and the ref-counting are done at the same time.

> 
> Did you make study how the others have resolved that issue? Could you list already used methods?

I just read through the V4L2-core i2c subdev code and
did not studied much on other modules, tbh:P

Regards,
akihiro
