That's a very interesting use case that might benefit other subsystems as
well. I've had a quick look at the cx88 driver(s), it seems cx88 hardware
expose separate video and audio PCI functions. Is this right ? In that case
the two drivers (cx88 and cx88-alsa) bind to two separate devices. Do you
know if other subsystems need to share driver data between separate devices ?
If the cx88-alsa driver needs data from the "main" driver, how do you handle
the cx88-alsa module being loaded before cx88 ?
As for the ivtv driver, this is quite different. I suppose the ivtvfb driver
wouldn't need to walk the devices list if it wasn't a separate module,
right ?

I haven't double-checked each operation, but that doesn't have to be sorted

If the card can't do video output the driver should probably block video
output operations at a higher lever, before reaching calls to the sub-device.
I'm not concerned much about performances here (calls to sub-devices are
probably not performance critical) but more about code cleanness. It's quite
easy to remove important checks if you know that lower level code will
probably catch your mistakes.

Ok, so your proposal only targets video input devices (with optional
framebuffer, sound or hid support) that implement the v4l2 interfaces and
that use sub-devices, right ?
