This series moves media link creation into the notifier bound callbacks
in the subdevices required by imx.

But to support the media graph on imx, a few improvements first needed
to be made to media core.

The default behavior of media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() fails when
the entity has multiple sink and/or source pads. Wrt imx, there are
three such entities: the imx6/7 csi-2 receivers, and the video mux.
All of those however have a 1:1 mapping from port numbers to pad
indeces.

So instead of implementing .get_fwnode_pad op for those entities,
or any other entities now or in the future that have multiple
source/sink pads, it is better to modify the default behavior
of media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() to first determine if the port
number at the provided endpoint firmware node corresponds to a
valid pad for the provided entity. That way the default behavior
will work for such entities that implement 1:1 mappings, without
requiring they implement the .get_fwnode_pad op. In other words,
the old behavior of media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() required entities
implement .get_fwnode_pad if they have multiple sink or source pads.
The new behavior requires entities implement .get_fwnode_pad _only_
if they have multiple sink or source pads, _and_ do not have 1:1
port:pad mappings.

Also, as part of the above work, it was discovered that all of the
current callers of media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() are not using that
function correctly. In all but one case the driver passes the firmware
node of the subdevice itself to the function, not one of its endpoint
nodes as the function expects. In more detail:

  - Cadence MIPI-CSI2 Receiver: Calls media_entity_get_fwnode_pad()
    in the subdev bound notifier callback, but passes sd->fwnode to
    the function. This is usually the fwnode of the subdevice itself,
    not one of its endpoint nodes. This only works now because there
    are no implementations of the .get_fwnode_pad op. This will break
    as soon as the bound subdevice implements the .get_fwnode_pad op.

  - ST Micro MIPID02 CSI-2: Calls media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() in the
    subdev bound notifier callback. Same issue as cadence driver, passes
    sd->fwnode.

  - Allwinner V3s CSI: Calls media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() in the
    completion notifier callback. Same issue as cadence driver, passes
    sd->fwnode.

  - Renesas R-Car MIPI CSI-2 Receiver: Calls media_entity_get_fwnode_pad()
    in the subdev bound notifier callback. In this case the driver passes
    the async subdev descriptor match fwnode. Again for most subdevices,
    this is the fwnode of the subdevice itself, not one of its endpoint
    nodes. However on the Salvator-X platform, the bound subdevice happens
    to be the ADV748x CSI-2 transmitter, which does indeed place the
    endpoint node in the asd match fwnode. But the problem is that the
    driver is now making assumptions about what subdevices it is binding
    to.

To resolve the above issues, this series adds a new function
media_create_fwnode_pad_links(), which creates the media links from/to
all pads on a remote entity, to/from a single specific local entity pad,
using the remote's endpoint fwnodes. It's API makes it convenient to call
from subdev bound notifier callbacks.

Another function media_create_fwnode_links() is added that will create
links from/to all pads on a remote entity, to/from all pads on a local
entity. It's API also makes it convenient to call from subdev bound
notifier callbacks, and can be called for entities that link to remote
entities via multiple pads (for example the video-mux which has multiple
sink pads that link to multiple bound subdevices).

This series has been tested on i.MX6 SabreSD, SabreLite, and SabreAuto
platforms, and the Renesas Salvator-X platform.

The series needs testing on i.MX7, Cadence, ST Micro MIPID02, and
Allwinner V3s platforms. Testing only needs to verify that the media
graph is unchanged, no stream testing is required. If the media graph
is broken, it means the subdevice(s) that bind to the drivers listed
above need to implement the .get_fwnode_pad op.

Hi Sakari, Hans, etc.

Can you take a look at this series at some point? I think there's some 
good stuff in here.

Thanks,
Steve
