[alsa-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] media: Media Device Allocator API

[Shuah Khan]

Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device.
Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct
device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other
drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all
the references are released.

Changes since v3:
- Fixed undefined reference to `__media_device_usb_init compile error when
  CONFIG_USB is disabled.
- Fixed kernel paging error when accessing /dev/mediaX after rmmod of the
  module that owns the media_device. The fix bumps the reference count for
  the owner when second driver comes along to share the media_device. If
  au0828 owns the media_device, then snd_usb_audio will bump the refcount
  for au0828, so it won't get deleted and vice versa.

+ * DOC: Media Controller Device Allocator API
+ *
+ * When media device belongs to more than one driver, the shared media device
+ * is allocated with the shared struct device as the key for look ups.
+ *
+ * Shared media device should stay in registered state until the last driver
+ * unregisters it. In addition, media device should be released when all the
+ * references are released. Each driver gets a reference to the media device
+ * during probe, when it allocates the media device. If media device is already
+ * allocated, allocate API bumps up the refcount and return the existing media
+ * device. Driver puts the reference back from its disconnect routine when it
+ * calls media_device_delete().
+ *
+ * Media device is unregistered and cleaned up from the kref put handler to
+ * ensure that the media device stays in registered state until the last driver
+ * unregisters the media device.
+ *
+ * Driver Usage:
+ *
+ * Drivers should use the media-core routines to get register reference and
+ * call media_device_delete() routine to make sure the shared media device
+ * delete is handled correctly.
+ *
+ * driver probe:
+ *	Call media_device_usb_allocate() to allocate or get a reference
+ *	Call media_device_register(), if media devnode isn't registered
+ *
+ * driver disconnect:
+ *	Call media_device_delete() to free the media_device. Free'ing is
+ *	handled by the put handler.
