[REVIEW PATCH 0/9] Use v4l2_dev instead of parent.

[REVIEW PATCH 0/9] Use v4l2_dev instead of parent.

[Hans Verkuil]

This patch series converts the last set of drivers still using the parent
field of video_device to using v4l2_dev instead and at the end the parent
field is removed altogether.

A proper pointer to v4l2_dev is necessary otherwise the advanced debugging
ioctls will not work when addressing sub-devices.

I have been steadily converting drivers to set the v4l2_dev pointer correctly,
and this patch series finishes that work.

Guennadi, the first patch replaces the broken version I posted earlier as part
of the 'current_norm' removal patch series. I've tested it with my renesas
board.

Note that this patch series sits on top of my for_v3.11 branch.

Regards,

	Hans

[REVIEW PATCH 1/9] soc_camera: replace vdev->parent by vdev->v4l2_dev.

[Hans Verkuil]

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com>

The parent field will eventually disappear to be replaced by v4l2_dev.
soc_camera does provide a v4l2_device struct but did not point to it in
struct video_device. This is now fixed.

Now the video nodes can be found under the correct platform bus, and
the advanced debug ioctls work correctly as well (the core implementation
of those ioctls requires that v4l2_dev is set correctly).

v4l2_device_unregister() calls v4l2_device_disconnect(), which in turn calls 
put_device() on the underlying device. Even if no subdev is registered I think 
that's required.

I know there's a cover letter for this changeset. However, for such an
intrusive change
as the one contained in this patch I think that not having any
description/changelog
for the commit might not be a good idea.
