Yeah, I agree with Laurent here. This way of modelling the different parts
of the CODEC as different pieces is the reason why you need a framework
to pull them together, such as the component API (I guess v4l2-async
could have been used as well).

I normally don't bother with driver internals, as its up to each driver
author to decide what is best. However, I believe this design is too
convoluted, and it may lead other developers to follow the same pattern,
so please avoid it.

There are several ways of modelling this and initializing or probing
the sub-devices,
without using any async framework.

Thanks,
Ezequiel
