Hello, The Media Controller framework has an issue in which the media device node is registered before all the media entities and pads links are created so if user-space tries to enumerate the graph too early, it may get a partial graph since not everything has been registered yet.
This series fixes the issue by separate the media device registration from the initialization so drives can first initialize the media device, create the graph and then finally register the media device node once is finished. The solution was suggested by Sakari Ailus. Patch #1 adds a check to the media_device_unregister() function to know if the media device has been registed yet so calling it will be safe and the cleanup functions of the drivers won't need to be changed in case register failed. Patch #2 does the init and registration split, changing all the drivers to make the change atomic and also adds a cleanup function for media devices. The patches are on top of Mauro's "[PATCH v8 00/55] MC next generation" [0] but is not a dependency for that series, it was only be based on that patch series to avoid conflicts with in-flight patches. The patches have been tested on an OMAP3 IGEPv2 board that has a OMAP3 ISP device and an Exynos5800 Chromebook with a built-in UVC camera.
