Hi Guennadi,

Thanks for the patch.

Is that related to this patch ? :-)

This version looks much better than the previous one, but I still think work 
is needed. Sorry :-)

I like to 'goto done;' in case of error when a lock is held.

There's something I don't get here. v4l2_async_subdev_unregister() is called 
by the subdev driver, most probably in the driver release function. I don't 
think calling device_release_driver() here (and reprobing below) is a good 
idea. Why is that needed ?

I would have called that CUSTOM instead of SPECIAL. SPECIAL sounds a bit

I think we could get rid of this structure. The fields it contains could be 
moved to struct v4l2_subdev, or alternatively struct v4l2_subdev could contain 
a v4l2_async_subdev_list pointer dynamically allocated when registering the 
subdev. That way the v4l2_async_subdev_(un)register() functions would take a 
v4l2_subdev pointer, and the API would be very easy to use for subdev drivers.

What about calling those two functions v4l2_async_register_subdev() and 
v4l2_async_unregister_subdev() ? The names would then match the synchronous 
API v4l2_device_register_subdev() and v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() 
functions.
