The v4l2_subdev_link_validate() function prints a one-time warning if it gets called on a link whose source or sink is not a subdev. As links get validated in the context of their sink, a call to the helper when the link's sink is not a subdev indicates that the driver has set its .link_validate() handler to v4l2_subdev_link_validate() on a non-subdev entity, which is a clear driver bug. On the other hand, the link's source not being a subdev indicates that the helper is used for a subdev connected to a video output device, which is a lesser issue, if only because this is currently common practice. There are no drivers left in the kernel that use v4l2_subdev_link_validate() in a context where it may get called on a non-subdev sink. Replace the pr_warn_once() with a WARN_ON_ONCE() in this case to make sure that new offenders won't be introduced. A subsequent change will improve the v4l2_subdev_link_validate() helper to properly support validating video device to subdev links.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
