Almost :)
I never encountered problems registering the sub-notifier, but instead
identifying it when trying to debug what's happening in v4l2-async.
I had a lot of "(null)" notifiers, and that makes debug particularly
painful, as in example I had unexpected matches between a subdev and a
"(null)" notifier and it's pretty hard find out what's going wrong.
So I post-poned registratration (and consequentially matching with the
available subdevices) to a time where I know it can be identified.

v4l2_dev is only set in root notifiers, we maybe can check for a valid
"struct device *" and refuse notifiers without an initialized one in
"__v4l2_async_notifier_register()".
And you're actually right here, when later the subdevice owning the just
refused sub-notifier gets registered (and eventually matched) its
sub-notifier will be processed anyhow, and this makes hunk "@@ -548,6
+551,20 @@" of my patch unnecessary.
I will test and simplify it. Thanks
