[PATCH v5 0/8] media: add new API simple 1to1 subdev register and add imx parallel camera support

[Frank.Li@oss.nxp.com]

This patches base on previous' thread "media: imx8qxp: add parallel camera
support".

Add new API media_async_register_subdev_1to1() to simple 1to1 subdev
register.

Many V4L2 subdev drivers implement the same registration and media pad
setup logic for simple pipelines consisting of a single sink pad and a
single source pad. As a result, the same boilerplate code is duplicated
across multiple drivers.

Introduce a common helper library for 1-to-1 subdevs to encapsulate the
registration, media entity initialization, and cleanup paths. Drivers
can embed a struct v4l2_subdev_1to1 instance and use the provided helper
APIs instead of open-coding the setup sequence.

This reduces code duplication and simplifies the implementation of
simple bridge and converter drivers.

    In 1TO1 subdev driver:

    struct your_device {
            v4l2_subdev_1to1 sd_1to1; // instead of v4l2_subdev sd;
            ...
    }
    ...
    your_device_probe()
    {
            v4l2_subdev_init(&sd_1to1->sd, &dw_mipi_csi2rx_ops);
            ...
            return media_async_register_subdev_1to1(sd_1to1);
    }

    ...
    your_device_remove()
    {
            media_async_subdev_1to1_cleanup();
    }

This API help reduce over line duplcated code in synopsys/dw-mipi-csi2rx.c.
And use this API at imx8's parallel CPI driver, which over 90% code now
hardware related.

And also benefit on going pix format patch

It will also reduce missed media_entity_cleanup() problem at some error path
