From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski at samsung.com>

Add a common s3c_fifo_link structure that describes a local path link
between 2 multimedia devices (like FIMC and FrameBuffer).

+ * s3c_fifo_link data structure is an abstraction for such links,
+ * it allows to define V4L2 device drivers hierarchy according to
+ * the hardware structure. Fifo links are mostly unidirectional, exclusive
+ * data buses. To control data transfer in fifo mode synchronization is
+ * is required between drivers at both ends of the fifo channel
+ * (master_dev, slave_dev). s3c_fifo_link:sub_dev is intended  to export
+ * in a consistent way all the functionality of the slave device required
+ * at master device driver to enable transfer through fifo channel.
+ * master_dev and slave_dev is to be setup by the platform code whilst
+ * sub_dev entry will mostly be initlized during slave_dev probe().
