As a top MC video driver, the microchip-isc should not propagate the format
to the subdevice, it should rather check at start_streaming() time if the
subdev is properly configured with a compatible format.
Removed the whole format finding logic, and reworked the format
verification at start_streaming time, such that the ISC will return an
error if the subdevice is not properly configured.
To achieve this, media_pipeline_start is called and a link_validate
callback is created to check the formats.
With this being done, the module parameter 'sensor_preferred' makes no
sense anymore. The ISC should not decide which format the sensor is using.
The ISC should only cope with the situation and inform userspace if the
streaming is possible in the current configuration.
The redesign of the format propagation has also risen the question of the
enumfmt callback. If enumfmt is called with an mbus_code, the enumfmt
handler should only return the formats that are supported for this
mbus_code. Otherwise, the enumfmt will report all the formats that the ISC
could output.
With this rework, the dynamic list of user formats is removed. It makes no
more sense to identify at complete time which formats the sensor could
emit, and add those into a separate dynamic list.
The ISC will start with a simple preconfigured default format, and at
link validate time, decide whether it can use the format that is
configured on the sink or not.
>From now on, the driver also advertises the IO_MC capability.

Prepare the support for media-controller.
This means that the capabilities of the driver have changed and now it's
capable of media controller operations.
The driver will register its media device, and add the video entity to this
media device. The subdevices are registered to the same media device.
The ISC will have a base entity which is auto-detected as
microchip_isc_base.
It will also register a subdevice that allows cropping of the incoming
frame to the maximum frame size supported by the ISC.
The ISC will create a link between the subdevice that is asynchronously
registered and the microchip_isc_scaler entity.
Then, the microchip_isc_scaler and microchip_isc_base are connected
through another link.
This patch does not change the previous capability of the driver, the
fact that the format is still being propagated from the top video node
down to the sensor.
