Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

But I don't agree, if this is part of the camera, it should be
implemented in the camera firmware. I understand that it's not possible
(or desirable) with the hardware architecture you're dealing with
though. How about

"In some systems, the GPIO is connected to main SoC instead of the
camera controller, with the connected reported by the system firmware
(ACPI or DT). In that case, the UVC device isn't aware of the GPIO. We
need to implement a virtual entity to handle the GPIO fully on the
driver side.

For example, for ACPI-based systems, the GPIO is reported in the USB
device object:"

Can we add

here ?

Can we iterate over entities in the chain instead ?

I'd be actually tempted to pass the pointer to the entity as data. We
would however need to add a chain pointer to uvc_entity. Not sure if
it's worth it, up to you.

Could this sleep ? Should we use a threaded IRQ ?

How about making the naming scheme consistent, by using a uvc_gpio_
prefix for all four functions ?

This could be folded in

	if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(gpio_privacy))
		return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(gpio_privacy);

Up to you.

Other unit names don't contain "Unit", should this be just "GPIO" ?

Can this happen in practice ?

So this will succeed, with the GPIO unit created, but it won't be
operational. Is this desired ? Shouldn't we at least print a warning ?

I also wonder if we should create the GPIO unit in this cases. Wouldn't
it be more confusing for userspace to see the privacy control being
exposed, but without it being functional ? Maybe the call to
gpiod_to_irq should be moved to before uvc_alloc_entity() ?

s/uvc_privacy_gpio irq/privacy GPIO IRQ/ ?

There's also a race condition, as soon as the IRQ is requested, it could
fire, and the driver isn't fully initialized. Walking the chain in the
IRQ handler while entities are added to the chain could lead to a crash.
I see two options, either adding a flag to tell that initialization is
complete and returning from the interrupt handler when the flag isn't
set, or moving IRQ registration to a separate function, called later
during the initialization. I think I have a preference for the latter.
