[PATCH v2] media: staging/imx: do not return error in link_notify for unknown sources

[Steve Longerbeam]

imx_media_link_notify() should not return error if the source subdevice
of the link is not found in the list of subdevices that registered via
async. If the subdev has controls they will be inherited via a link_notify
that starts from a known source async subdev.
