[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 14/19] media: Add enable_source handler field to struct media_device

[Shuah Khan]

Add a new field to enable_source handler to find source entity
for the sink entity and check if it is available, and activate
the link using media_entity_setup_link() interface. Bridge driver
is expected to implement and set the handler when media_device is
registered or when bridge driver finds the media_device during
probe. This is to enable the use-case to find tuner entity
connected to the decoder entity and check if it is available,
and activate the using media_entity_setup_link() if it is available.
This hanlder can be invoked from media core (v4l-core, dvb-core)
as well as other drivers such as ALSA that control the media device.
