b1a873a37b [media] v4l2: use new flag to enable core priority handling
Rather than guess which driver supports core priority handling, require drivers
that do to explicitly set the V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO flag in video_device.

Updated the core prio handling accordingly and set the flag in the three
drivers that do.

61f5db549d [media] v4l: Make v4l2_subdev inherit from media_entity
V4L2 subdevices are media entities. As such they need to inherit from
(include) the media_entity structure.

When registering/unregistering the subdevice, the media entity is
automatically registered/unregistered. The entity is acquired on device
open and released on device close.

95db3a60e0 [media] v4l: Add a media_device pointer to the v4l2_device structure
The pointer will later be used to register/unregister media entities
when registering/unregistering a v4l2_subdev or a video_device.

With the introduction of media devices, device drivers need to store a
pointer to a driver-specific structure in the device's drvdata.
v4l2_device can't claim ownership of the drvdata anymore.

To maintain compatibility with drivers that rely on v4l2_device storing
a pointer to itself in the device's drvdata, v4l2_device_register() will
keep doing so if the drvdata is NULL.

Don't hold the lock before unregistering the device, since when the

ee6869afc9 V4L/DVB: v4l2: add core serialization lock
Drivers can optionally set a pointer to a mutex in struct video_device.
The core will use that to lock before calling open, read, write, unlocked_ioctl,
poll, mmap or release.

Updated the documentation as well and ensure that v4l2-event knows about the
lock: it will unlock it before doing a blocking wait on an event and relock it
afterwards.

Ensure that the 'video_is_registered' check is done when the lock is held:
a typical disconnect will take the lock as well before unregistering the
device nodes, so to prevent race conditions the video_is_registered check
should also be done with the lock held.

Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device

This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but
creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video).

So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device,
but you can do that for each video_device.
