      media: v4l: i2c: Add a comment not to use static sub-device names in the future · 654be7dd
      Sakari Ailus authored
      A number of sub-device drivers used a static name for the sub-device, and
      thus the media entity. As the entity name must be unique within a media
      device, this makes it impossible to have more than one instance of each
      device in a media device. This is a rather severe limitation.
      
      Instead of fixing these drivers, add a comment to the drivers noting that
      such static names may not be used in the future.
      
      The alternative of fixing the drivers is troublesome as the entity (as
      well as sub-device) name is part of the uAPI. Changing that is almost
      certain to break something. As these devices are old but no-one has
      encountered a problem with the static names, leave it as-is.
