seems to have some things to get the right endpoint. Also minimal type

I'm not against having glue which can tie together largely unrelated
subsystems and drivers. The things that imo are bad design patterns with
standard modifiers:
- Locking gets in the way sooner or later. Can be fixed with an unlocked
modifier and your own locking, but at that point just roll your own
thing like cec-notifier.c.
- void * types everywhere, usually far from a good fit.
- shotgun approach of notifications, everyone gets everything all the
time. Good notification should send a specific event (using a specific
callback which has the right parameters as arguments), to a specific
recipient.
This all doesn't matter for a poc with just one sender and one receiver,
but it becomes a huge pain once you have lots of drivers participating and
lots of devices/connections involved. Really bad example is the fbdev
notifier, which is abused for all kinds of horrible hacks by now, because
the interface doesn't have a solid api contract between sender and
receiver of notification events.
Hope that explains why I'm against standard modifiers, and why I think
cec-notifier.c looks good (without me understanding the details, just from
a quick look).
