To attempt to solve that, this series adds a new type of media link called MEDIA_LNK_FL_ANCILLARY_LINK, which connects two instances of struct media_entity. The mechanism of connection I have modelled as a notifier and async subdev, which seemed the best route since sensor drivers already typically will call v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() on probe, and that function already looks for a reference to a firmware node with the reference named "lens-focus". To avoid boilerplate in the sensor drivers, I added some new functions in v4l2-async that are called in v4l2_async_match_notify() to create the ancillary links. I haven't gone further than that yet, but I suspect we could cut down on code elsewhere by, for example, also creating pad-to-pad links in the same place Series level changes since v2: - Squashed #2 and #3 Series-level changes since v1: - New patch adding some documentation to the uAPI pages.
