From 6c11631480e9a0554ae5ee89dc12acaa1f1a93a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Pinchart Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 22:59:35 +0200 Subject: media: v4l2-async: Document asd allocation requirements The v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev() function requires the asd pointer it receives to be allocated dynamically, but doesn't explicitly say so. Only one driver out of 13 get its right (atmel-sama5d2-isc.c, but with memory leaks in the error paths), clearly showing we have an issue. Update the v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev() documentation to clearly state the allocation requirement. Whether this will be enough to avoid new offending code isn't certain, but it's a good first step nonetheless.
