[PATCH v5 2/8] media: v4l2-fwnode: Add common helper library for 1-to-1 subdev registration

From: Frank Li <Frank.Li at nxp.com>

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);
	...
	media_async_register_subdev_1to1(sd_1to1);
}

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