function hook_field_entity_dependencies in Entity Dependency API 7

This is not a real hook (as the other Field API hooks). This hook is called for each module owner of a field. But it has the same intention as hook_entity_dependencies() but is more suited for defining dependencies for certain fields.

Below is an example. Taxonomy module owns one field (the taxonomy term reference field), hence it's called for all instances of that field.

function hook_field_entity_dependencies($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items) {

  // No need to check for the field type here, since this hook is only called
  // for the owner of this field. Taxonomy module only owns one field.
