Using the V4L2 core lock is a very robust method that is usually very good
at doing the right thing. But some drivers, particularly USB drivers, may
want to prevent the core from taking the lock for specific ioctls, particularly
buffer queuing ioctls.
The reason is that certain commands like S_CTRL can take a long time to process
over USB and all the time the core has the lock, preventing VIDIOC_DQBUF from
proceeding, even though a frame may be ready in the queue.
This introduces unwanted latency.
Since the buffer queuing commands often have their own internal lock it is
often not necessary to take the core lock. Drivers can now say that they don't
want the core to take the lock for specific ioctls.
As it is a specific opt-out it makes it clear to the reviewer that those
ioctls will need more care when reviewing.

The pointer will later be used to register/unregister media entities
when registering/unregistering a v4l2_subdev or a video_device.
With the introduction of media devices, device drivers need to store a
pointer to a driver-specific structure in the device's drvdata.
v4l2_device can't claim ownership of the drvdata anymore.
To maintain compatibility with drivers that rely on v4l2_device storing
a pointer to itself in the device's drvdata, v4l2_device_register() will
keep doing so if the drvdata is NULL.

Drivers can optionally set a pointer to a mutex in struct video_device.
The core will use that to lock before calling open, read, write, unlocked_ioctl,
poll, mmap or release.
Updated the documentation as well and ensure that v4l2-event knows about the
lock: it will unlock it before doing a blocking wait on an event and relock it
afterwards.
Ensure that the 'video_is_registered' check is done when the lock is held:
a typical disconnect will take the lock as well before unregistering the
device nodes, so to prevent race conditions the video_is_registered check
should also be done with the lock held.

Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device

video_device struct.
This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but
creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video).
So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device,
but you can do that for each video_device.
