Better to put it on a patch.

Please review.

[media] Better define MEDIA_ENT_F_CONN_* entities

Putting concepts in a paper is hard, specially since different people
may interpret it in a different way.

Make clear about the meaning of the MEDIA_ENT_F_CONN_* entities

I agree, after all in the latest proposal, the entity is really a connection
(or set of connections as for example in a S-Video with separate Y and C)
and the pads are the ones modeling the carrying signals.

Just some small typos mentioned below.

Finally caught up with RFC discussion. Looks good to me.
Thanks for the summary and the patch.

In general I agree with the direction to go with property
API as it offers flexibility for future enhancements and
allows drivers to care about only the properties they
need to support.

Add space after 'signal'.
