tegra-video driver will be common for t210/186/194

we add corresponding compatibles to tegra-video and vi/csi drivers along
with that need to add tegra186_vi_soc, tegra194_vi_soc and implement
tegra186.c/tegra194.c

tegra-video driver updated for later tegra include updating drivers list
and subdevs list to add t186/t194 compatibles
