Update: I have finished the v4l-utils update (I'll post a patch for that later).

But while testing I noticed that this driver does not set up the sequence number
and it doesn't copy the timestamp. So the patch below needs to be applied.

Just squash it together with your patch. Note that you need to do the same for
your alsa driver.

Also, please rename the source name from vim2m_audio.c to vim2m-audio.c. That is
consistent with the naming elsewhere in test-drivers.

I also want to have support for the MEDIA_CONTROLLER here. See vim2m, search for
CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER. Both in this test driver and also in your audio driver.

This will require adding a new media entity (MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_AUDIO_RESAMPLER?).
And you also need to add a new MEDIA_INTF_T_V4L_AUDIO interface type that will be
used by v4l2_m2m_register_media_controller(). That function can check vdev->vfl_type
to see if it needs to use MEDIA_INTF_T_V4L_VIDEO or MEDIA_INTF_T_V4L_AUDIO.
Remember to update the documentation as well!

The reason for using the media controller here is that it turns out to be very useful
for application to detect what sort of m2m device it is dealing with: it has proven
it worth for video codecs, and I think it should be standard for new m2m devices, and
especially for a completely new type of m2m device.
