When the v4l2-async framework was introduced, the use case for it was to connect a camera sensor with a parallel receiver. Both tended to be rather simple devices with a single connection between them. The framework has been since improved in multiple ways but there are limitations that have remained, for instance the assumption an async sub-device is connected towards a single notifier and via a single link only. This patch enables connecting a sub-device to one or more notifiers simultaneously, with one or more connections per notifier. The notifier information is moved from the sub-device to the connection and the connections in sub-device are no longer a pointer but a linked list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
