The MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO ioctl was returning a positive value rather
than a negative error code when failing to copy output parameter to
user-space.
Tested by compilation only.

When enumerating an entity, assign the entire entity specification
instead of only the first two words. (This requires giving the
specification union a name.)
So far, no driver actually uses more than two words, but this will
be needed for ALSA entities.

These two macros were in module.h but now module.h is no longer
sprayed across every source file imaginable, so the users need
to expicitly call out their use of them.

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.

Create the following two ioctls and implement them at the media device
level to enumerate entities, pads and links.
- MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES: Enumerate entities and their properties
- MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS: Enumerate all pads and links for a given entity
Entity IDs can be non-contiguous. Userspace applications should
enumerate entities using the MEDIA_ENT_ID_FLAG_NEXT flag. When the flag
is set in the entity ID, the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES will return the
next entity with an ID bigger than the requested one.
Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
returned during the enumeration process.

Create the following ioctl and implement it at the media device level to
query device information.
- MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO: Query media device information
The ioctl and its data structure are defined in the new kernel header
linux/media.h available to userspace applications.

Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management
needs, the media controller does not implement power management.
However, the media_entity structure includes a use_count field that
media drivers can use to track the number of users of every entity for
power management needs.
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.

As video hardware pipelines become increasingly complex and
configurable, the current hardware description through v4l2 subdevices
reaches its limits. In addition to enumerating and configuring
subdevices, video camera drivers need a way to discover and modify at
runtime how those subdevices are connected. This is done through new
elements called entities, pads and links.
An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to
a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices
(CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block
in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical
connectors.
A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with
other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should
not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.
A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either
on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
pad to a sink pad.
Links are stored in the source entity. To make backwards graph walk
faster, a copy of all links is also stored in the sink entity. The copy
is known as a backlink and is only used to help graph traversal.
The entity API is made of three functions:
- media_entity_init() initializes an entity. The caller must provide an
array of pads as well as an estimated number of links. The links array
is allocated dynamically and will be reallocated if it grows beyond the
initial estimate.
- media_entity_cleanup() frees resources allocated for an entity. It
must be called during the cleanup phase after unregistering the entity
and before freeing it.
- media_entity_create_link() creates a link between two entities. An
entry in the link array of each entity is allocated and stores pointers
to source and sink pads.
When a media device is unregistered, all its entities are unregistered
automatically.
The code is based on Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> initial work.

The media_device structure abstracts functions common to all kind of
media devices (v4l2, dvb, alsa, ...). It manages media entities and
offers a userspace API to discover and configure the media device
internal topology.
