[media] media: Links setup

Create the following ioctl and implement it at the media device level to
setup links.

- MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK: Modify the properties of a given link

The only property that can currently be modified is the ENABLED link
flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the IMMUTABLE link flag
can not be enabled or disabled.

Enabling or disabling a link has effects on entities' use count. Those
changes are automatically propagated through the graph.

 Use count and power handling

 The use_count field is owned by media drivers and must not be touched by entity
 drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the media device graph_mutex
 lock.

+
+Links setup
+-----------
+
+Link properties can be modified at runtime by calling
+
+	media_entity_setup_link(struct media_link *link, u32 flags);
+
+The flags argument contains the requested new link flags.
+
+The only configurable property is the ENABLED link flag to enable/disable a
+link. Links marked with the IMMUTABLE link flag can not be enabled or disabled.
+
+When a link is enabled or disabled, the media framework calls the
+link_setup operation for the two entities at the source and sink of the link,
+in that order. If the second link_setup call fails, another link_setup call is
+made on the first entity to restore the original link flags.
+
+Media device drivers can be notified of link setup operations by setting the
+media_device::link_notify pointer to a callback function. If provided, the
+notification callback will be called before enabling and after disabling
+links.
+
+Entity drivers must implement the link_setup operation if any of their links
+is non-immutable. The operation must either configure the hardware or store
+the configuration information to be applied later.
+
+Link configuration must not have any side effect on other links. If an enabled
+link at a sink pad prevents another link at the same pad from being disabled,
+the link_setup operation must return -EBUSY and can't implicitly disable the
+first enabled link.
