    media: v4l: async: Allow multiple connections between entities · 28a12957
    Sakari Ailus authored
    When the v4l2-async framework was introduced, the use case for it was to
    connect a camera sensor with a parallel receiver. Both tended to be rather
    simple devices with a single connection between them.
    
    The framework has been since improved in multiple ways but there are
    limitations that have remained, for instance the assumption an async
    sub-device is connected towards a single notifier and via a single link
    only.
    
    This patch enables connecting a sub-device to one or more notifiers
    simultaneously, with one or more connections per notifier. The notifier
    information is moved from the sub-device to the connection and the
    connections in sub-device are no longer a pointer but a linked list.
