The only thing this structure appears to be doing is ensuring that a
single component doesn't get added twice - is that correct?  If so,
(and the troublesome problem with the IPU crtcs is now gone)
we can modify the core component code such that it does this:

                if (c->master && c->master != master)
                        continue;

                if (compare(c->dev, compare_data)) {
			if (!c->master)
	                        component_attach_master(master, c);
                        ret = 0;
                        break;
                }

which will mean that you don't need to build this list anymore to track
what will be added - though I'd like to think a little more about that
before making that change.  Please confirm whether this will eliminate
your list generation.

Thanks.
