Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 0/4] Media Device Allocator API

From: Shuah Khan <shuah@...nel.org>

This patch series has been on the ice for the last couple of years.
Mauro asked me to restart the discussion on this and see if we can
make progress.

I rebased the series to Linux 4.19. It has been surprisingly well
preserved with one small merge conflict resolved in 0004.

Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device.
Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct
device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other
drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all
the references are released.

- No changes to 0001,0002 code since the v7 referenced below.
- 0003 is a new patch to enable ALSA defines that have been
  disabled for kernel between 4.9 and 4.19.
- Minor merge conflict resolution in 0004.
- Added SPDX to new files.

Please review. I am sending this as RFC even though it has been tested
several times prior to this non-event rebased v8. I ran sanity tests.
