Comments inlined. I've reviewed the general approach only, so there might be
some small issues at the code level that I haven't noticed.
Would you mind holding the push request until we're done discussing the points
I mention throughout this e-mail ?

Do you know of other busses being used in (Linux supported) real video

This only applies to drivers handling "composite devices" (systems including
sub-devices). Let's make sure the proposed framework doesn't make "simple
devices" more complex to handle that they are now.

That's an abuse of platform_data, I don't think it was ever meant that way.

I'm not sure to really see what use cases you're talking about. The above code
looks good, but iterating over device bound to specific drivers should be
done with care as it might be the sign of badly designed code. Every new
instance of the above code should be reviewed with care.

This should probably be checked when registering the sub-device instead of at
all calls to sub-device operations.

This is interesting as well.

The bridge driver won't have to care about how sub-devices are accessed, but
sub-devices drivers will have to be written specifically for the V4L2
subsystem. Do we have I2C devices shared between V4L(2) and DVB (and possible
other subsystems) ? How would those be handled ? If your goal is to share
v4l2_subdev drivers between V4L(2) and DVB I don't think the v4l2_ prefix is
right.

The only I2C video-related chips I've dealt with were the ones used by
DC10/DC10+ boards and those have no state struct. What is the state struct in
your description ? Is it the driver-specific data allocated when the device
is probed ?

<chipname>_state might be a better name, it would avoid namespace clashes (I'm
aware the state structure is supposed to be private to the I2C device driver,
but we never know what might happen).

I can't find that structure anywhere in your patches. Shouldn't it be removed
from the document and added back when you introduce it ?

no upper bound, but the bus id is limited to BUS_ID_SIZE (currently 20)
