[PATCH v5] [media] vimc: Virtual Media Controller core, capture and sensor

[Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.co.uk>]

From: Helen Fornazier <helen.fornazier@gmail.com>

First version of the Virtual Media Controller.
Add a simple version of the core of the driver, the capture and
sensor nodes in the topology, generating a grey image in a hardcoded
format.

Signed-off-by: Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.com>

Patch based in media/master tree, and available here:
https://github.com/helen-fornazier/opw-staging/tree/vimc/devel/vpu

Changes since v4:
- coding style fixes
- remove BUG_ON
- change copyright to 2016
- depens on VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API instead of select
- remove assignement of V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS
- s/vimc_cap_g_fmt_vid_cap/vimc_cap_fmt_vid_cap
- fix vimc_cap_queue_setup declaration type
- remove wrong buffer size check and add it in vimc_cap_buffer_prepare
- vimc_cap_create: remove unecessary check if v4l2_dev or v4l2_dev->dev is null
- vimc_cap_create: only allow a single pad
- vimc_sen_create: only allow source pads, remove unecessary source pads
checks in vimc_thread_sen

Changes since v3: fix rmmod crash and built-in compile
- Re-order unregister calls in vimc_device_unregister function (remove
rmmod issue)
- Call media_device_unregister_entity in vimc_raw_destroy
- Add depends on VIDEO_DEV && VIDEO_V4L2 and select VIDEOBUF2_VMALLOC
- Check *nplanes in queue_setup (this remove v4l2-compliance fail)
- Include <linux/kthread.h> in vimc-sensor.c
- Move include of <linux/slab.h> from vimc-core.c to vimc-core.h
- Generate 60 frames per sec instead of 1 in the sensor

Changes since v2: update with current media master tree
- Add struct media_pipeline in vimc_cap_device
- Use vb2_v4l2_buffer instead of vb2_buffer
- Typos
- Remove usage of entity->type and use entity->function instead
- Remove fmt argument from queue setup
- Use ktime_get_ns instead of v4l2_get_timestamp
- Iterate over link's list using list_for_each_entry
- Use media_device_{init, cleanup}
- Use entity->use_count to keep track of entities instead of the old
entity->id
- Replace media_entity_init by media_entity_pads_init
