    [media] vimc: Subdevices as modules · 4a29b709
    Helen Fornazier authored
    Change the core structure for adding subdevices in the topology.
    Instead of calling the specific create function for each subdevice,
    inject a child platform_device with the driver's name.
    Each type of node in the topology (sensor, capture, debayer, scaler)
    will register a platform_driver with the corresponding name through the
    component subsystem.
    Implementing a new subdevice type doesn't require vimc-core to be altered.
    
    This facilitates future implementation of dynamic entities, where
    hotpluging an entity in the topology is just a matter of
    registering/unregistering a platform_device in the system.
    It also facilitates other implementations of different nodes without
    touching the core code and remove the need of a header file for each
    type of node.
