[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.

52 | <para>To change link properties applications fill a &media-link-desc; with | ||
53 | link identification information (source and sink pad) and the new requested | ||
54 | link flags. They then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to | ||
55 | that structure.</para> | ||
56 | <para>The only configurable property is the <constant>ENABLED</constant> | ||
57 | link flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the | ||
58 | <constant>IMMUTABLE</constant> link flag can not be enabled or disabled. | ||
59 | </para> | ||
60 | <para>Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled | ||
61 | link at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver | ||
62 | returns with an &EBUSY;.</para> | ||
63 | <para>If the specified link can't be found the driver returns with an | ||
64 | &EINVAL;.</para> | ||

74 | <para>The link properties can't be changed because the link is | ||
75 | currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active media | ||

77 | no other action is performed before to fix the problem.</para> | ||
