This patchset converts the imx-media driver and its dependent
subdevs to use subdev notifiers.

There are a couple shortcomings in v4l2-core that prevented
subdev notifiers from working correctly in imx-media:

1. v4l2_async_notifier_fwnode_parse_endpoint() treats a fwnode
   endpoint that is not connected to a remote device as an error.
   But in the case of the video-mux subdev, this is not an error,
   it is OK if some of the mux inputs have no connection. Also,
   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt explicitly
   states that the 'remote-endpoint' property is optional. So the first
   patch is a small modification to ignore empty endpoints in
   v4l2_async_notifier_fwnode_parse_endpoint() and allow
   __v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_endpoints() to continue to
   parse the remaining port endpoints of the device.

2. In the imx-media graph, multiple subdevs will encounter the same
   upstream subdev (such as the imx6-mipi-csi2 receiver), and so
   v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_endpoints() will add imx6-mipi-csi2
   multiple times. This is treated as an error by
   v4l2_async_notifier_register() later.

   To get around this problem, add an v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev()
   which first verifies the provided asd does not already exist in the
   given notifier asd list or in other registered notifiers. If the asd
   exists, the function returns -EEXIST and it's up to the caller to
   decide if that is an error (in imx-media case it is never an error).

   Patches 2-5 deal with adding that support.

3. Patch 6 adds v4l2_async_register_fwnode_subdev(), which is a
   convenience function for parsing a subdev's fwnode port endpoints
   for connected remote subdevs, registering a subdev notifier, and
   then registering the sub-device itself.

The remaining patches update the subdev drivers to register a
subdev notifier with endpoint parsing, and the changes to imx-media
to support that.

History:
v4:
- small non-functional code cleanup in video-mux.c.
- strip TODO for comparing custom asd's for equivalence.
- add three more convenience functions: v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_subdev,
  v4l2_async_notifier_add_i2c_subdev, v4l2_async_notifier_add_devname_subdev.
- strip support in v4l2_async_register_fwnode_subdev for sub-devices
  that register from port nodes.

v3:
- code optimization in asd_equal(), and remove unneeded braces,
  suggested by Sakari Ailus.
- add a NULL asd pointer check to v4l2_async_notifier_asd_valid().
- fix an error-out path in v4l2_async_register_fwnode_subdev() that
  forgot to put device.

v2:
- don't pass an empty endpoint to the parse_endpoint callback, 
  v4l2_async_notifier_fwnode_parse_endpoint() now just ignores them
  and returns success.
- Fix a couple compile warnings and errors seen in i386 and sh archs.
