[alsa-devel] [PATCH 00/31] Sharing media resources across ALSA and au0828 drivers

This patch series updates ALSA driver, and au0828 core
driver to use Managed Media controller API and Media
Controller API to share tuner.

Media Controller Next Generation API has been enhanced
to add two new interfaces to register and unregister
entity_notify hooks to allow drivers to take appropriate
actions when as new entities get added to the shared media
device.

Mauro and Takashi: I am hoping you can both coordinate
and decide on ALSA patches once the reviews are done
and the patches look good.

Design Highlights:
1. ALSA to check for resources and hold in snd_usb_hw_params(),
   and release from snd_usb_hw_free(). This change fixed the
   lockdep warnings seen when resources were held in
   TRIGGER_START and released from TRIGGER_STOP which could
   run in IRQ context. I acknowledge Clemens Ladisch for
   suggesting the correct places to hold/free resources to
   avoid IRQ path complications.
2. The Bridge driver (au0828) owns and drives the graph creation
   as well as enabling and disabling tuner. It also keeps state
   information to avoid graph walks in enable_source and
   disable_source handler. I acknowledge Hans Verkuil for his
   suggestions and ideas for this change.

Tested exclusion between digital, analog, and audio to ensure
when tuner has an active link to DVB FE, analog, and audio will
detect and honor the tuner busy conditions and vice versa.

This patch series is a rebase and update to the latest Media
Controller Next Gen API of the Media Controller Next Generation
API port.

Rebase highlights:
1. Changes to videobuf2 framework required additional
   v4l2 helper function to enable the tuner from
   vb2_core_streamon(). Patch 9 has this work.
2. Media device initialization and registration steps
   are now split in the latest Media Controller Next Gen
   API. This required changes to au0828 and ALSA to coordinate
   initialization and registration of the Managed Media Device
   they share. Patch 19 shows au0828 changes. ALSA changes
   for this are folded into the main ALSA patch 26.
3. Media device unregistration does more cleanup now. As a
   result, au0828 and ALSA need to coordinate so media device
   is done only once. These changes are in patches: 29, 30,
   and 31.
4. In addition, media device resources cleanup gets done
   before snd_card_disconnect(). This work is in patch 30.

Media Controller Next Generation API port from Media Controller API:
