Ok. Yet, changing the configuration file format could be a pain
for the users. The best would be to add a format that would be
extensible enough to be able to add support for other needs in
the future.

If I understood well, you're proposing to use this format for
the configuration file:

        link-conf "s5p-mipi-csis.0":1 -> "FIMC.0":0 [1]
        ctrl-to-subdev-conf 0x0098091f -> "fimc.0.capture"
        ctrl-to-subdev-conf 0x00980902 -> "S5C73M3"
        ctrl-to-subdev-conf 0x00980922 -> "fimc.0.capture"
        ctrl-to-subdev-conf 0x009a0914 -> "S5C73M3"

What if, instead, you use something like:

[group]
        key = value

type of configuration file?

This way, if one wants to extend it, all it is needed is to add
other groups or more key types.

The users with an older configuration won't suffer if newer
groups and newer key types were added.

E. g something like:

[link]
        source = "s5p-mipi-csis.0":1
        sink = "FIMC.0":0 [1]

[ctrl-to-subdev]
        ctrl_id = 0x0098091f
        subdev= "fimc.0.capture"

[ctrl-to-subdev]
        ctrl_id = 0x00980902
        subdev = "S5C73M3"

...


This way, Sakari's patches could use the same format to add mediatext
entries. E. g. something like (the actual content actually depends on
what is here - I'm just wild guessing from the tree diagram at the
RFC e-mail):

[mediatext]
        shell_script = foo
        devnode = /dev/video*
        devnode = /dev/mediaX
        devnode = /dev/v4l-subdev*

without needing to change the format of the file, and keeping it
backward compatible.
