From: Helen Fornazier <helen.fornazier@gmail.com>

First version of the Virtual Media Controller.
Add a simple version of the core of the driver, the capture and
sensor nodes in the topology, generating a grey image in a hardcoded
format.

Signed-off-by: Helen Fornazier <helen.fornazier@gmail.com>

---
Changes since v3: fix rmmod crash and built-in compile
- Re-order unregister calls in vimc_device_unregister function (remove
rmmod issue)
- Call media_device_unregister_entity in vimc_raw_destroy
- Add depends on VIDEO_DEV && VIDEO_V4L2 and select VIDEOBUF2_VMALLOC
- Check *nplanes in queue_setup (this remove v4l2-compliance fail)
- Include <linux/kthread.h> in vimc-sensor.c
- Move include of <linux/slab.h> from vimc-core.c to vimc-core.h
- Generate 60 frames per sec instead of 1 in the sensor

Changes since v2: update with current media master tree
- Add struct media_pipeline in vimc_cap_device
- Use vb2_v4l2_buffer instead of vb2_buffer
- Typos
- Remove usage of entity->type and use entity->function instead
- Remove fmt argument from queue setup
- Use ktime_get_ns instead of v4l2_get_timestamp
- Iterate over link's list using list_for_each_entry
- Use media_device_{init, cleanup}
- Use entity->use_count to keep track of entities instead of the old
entity->id
- Replace media_entity_init by media_entity_pads_init

Hi Helen,

Better late than never, but I finally have time for a review, mostly with a eye for V4L2 issues.

Please note the 'kbuild test robot' mails you received: those issues should be resolved
in v5. It looks like it misses the media controller dependency in the Kconfig.

I suspect checkpatch will warn about the comment format. Did you run checkpatch?

This line can be dropped, the v4l2 core will fill this in (a recent change).

Rename vimc_cap_g_fmt_vid_cap to vimc_cap_fmt_vid_cap to make it clear it is used by all three ioctls.

That's wrong. This check should happen in the vb2_ops buf_prepare callback.
See how other drivers do that.

Please add VB2_READ and VB2_USERPTR as well since all are supported.

Thank you for your review, I'll incorporate your suggestions in v5.
I am also preparing a patch series that integrates the tpg and have much 
more functionality, I want to add the optimization where I analyze the 
pipe and generate the final image directly from the video capture node 
instead of processing all the images in each processing unit. I hope 
that it will be useful.
