    [media] v4l: ti-vpe: register video device only when firmware is loaded · b2c9472f

    vpe fops(vpe_open in particular) should be called only when VPDMA firmware
    is loaded. File operations on the video device are possible the moment it is
    registered.
    
    Currently, we register the video device for VPE at driver probe, after calling
    a vpdma helper to initialize VPDMA and load firmware. This function is
    non-blocking(it calls request_firmware_nowait()), and doesn't ensure that the
    firmware is actually loaded when it returns.
    
    We remove the device registration from vpe probe, and move it to a callback
    provided by the vpe driver to the vpdma library, through vpdma_create().
    
    The ready field in vpdma_data is no longer needed since we always have firmware
    loaded before the device is registered.
    
    A minor problem with this approach is that if the video_register_device
    fails(which doesn't really happen), the vpe platform device would be registered.
    however, there won't be any v4l2 device corresponding to it.
