[media] media: Entities, pads and links enumeration
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.

51 <para>To query the attributes of an entity, applications set the id field

55 <para>Entities can be enumerated by or'ing the id with the

52 <para>To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set
53 the entity field of a &media-links-enum; structure and initialize the
54 &media-pad-desc; and &media-link-desc; structure arrays pointed by the

56 They then call the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this
57 structure.</para>
58 <para>If the <structfield>pads</structfield> field is not NULL, the driver
59 fills the <structfield>pads</structfield> array with information about the
60 entity's pads. The array must have enough room to store all the entity's
61 pads. The number of pads can be retrieved with the &MEDIA-IOC-ENUM-ENTITIES;
62 ioctl.</para>

64 fills the <structfield>links</structfield> array with information about the

67 the &MEDIA-IOC-ENUM-ENTITIES; ioctl.</para>
