Unfortunately these vimc changes cause regressions in the vimc test-media test.

This test is run in our CI to catch regressions, so it must always pass.

The test is in the v4l-utils git repository (https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/)
in the contrib/test directory. It's run as: 'sudo ./test-media vimc'.

It could be that these changes require changes in the vimc test itself.
In that case I need a patch for test-media fixing this. However, looking
at the failures I think that at least some of the issues are caused by these
patches.

Since this series adds a new entity, I think that test-media needs to be patched
anyway with a new test that tests this new entity as well.

Running the test-media vimc test results in:

So I'm dropping this PR.
