Hi Steve,

This driver can handle SoC internal and external video bus multiplexers,
controlled either by register bit fields or by a GPIO. The subdevice
passes through frame interval and mbus configuration of the active input
to the output side.

- fixed a cut&paste error in vidsw_remove(): v4l2_async_register_subdev()
  should be unregister.

- added media_entity_cleanup() and v4l2_device_unregister_subdev()
  to vidsw_remove().

- there was a line left over from a previous iteration that negated
  the new way of determining the pad count just before it which
  has been removed (num_pads = of_get_child_count(np)).

- Philipp Zabel has developed a set of patches that allow adding
  to the subdev async notifier waiting list using a chaining method
  from the async registered callbacks (v4l2_of_subdev_registered()
  and the prep patches for that). For now, I've removed the use of
  v4l2_of_subdev_registered() for the vidmux driver's registered
  callback. This doesn't affect the functionality of this driver,
  but allows for it to be merged now, before adding the chaining
  support.

+Video Multiplexer
+=================
+
+Video multiplexers allow to select between multiple input ports. Video received
+on the active input port is passed through to the output port. Muxes described
+by this binding may be controlled by a syscon register bitfield or by a GPIO.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "video-multiplexer"
+- reg: should be register base of the register containing the control bitfield
+- bit-mask: bitmask of the control bitfield in the control register
+- bit-shift: bit offset of the control bitfield in the control register
+- gpios: alternatively to reg, bit-mask, and bit-shift, a single GPIO phandle
+  may be given to switch between two inputs
+- #address-cells: should be <1>
+- #size-cells: should be <0>
+- port@*: at least three port nodes containing endpoints connecting to the
+  source and sink devices according to of_graph bindings. The last port is
+  the output port, all others are inputs.
+
+Example:
+
+syscon {
+	compatible = "syscon", "simple-mfd";
+
+	mux {
Could you use standardised properties for this, i.e. ones defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt ?

This is very similar to another patch "[PATCH] devicetree: Add video bus
switch" posted by Pavel Machek recently. The problem with that is also
similar than with this one: how to pass the CSI-2 bus configuration to the
receiver.

There's some discussion here:

<URL:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg109493.html>

As Laurent already suggested, I think we should have a common solution for
the problem that, besides conveying the bus parameters to the receiver, also
encompasses CSI-2 virtual channels and data types.

That would mean finishing the series of patches in the branch I believe
Laurent already quoted here.
+		compatible = "video-multiplexer";
+		/* Single bit (1 << 19) in syscon register 0x04: */
+		reg = <0x04>;
+		bit-mask = <1>;
+		bit-shift = <19>;
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		port at 0 {
+			reg = <0>;
+
+			mux_in0: endpoint {
+				remote-endpoint = <&video_source0_out>;
+			};
+		};
+
+		port at 1 {
+			reg = <1>;
+
+			mux_in1: endpoint {
+				remote-endpoint = <&video_source1_out>;
+			};
+		};
+
+		port at 2 {
+			reg = <2>;
+
+			mux_out: endpoint {
+				remote-endpoint = <&capture_interface_in>;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+};
