[PATCH 5/5] staging: bcm2835-camera: Remove 2 completed issues from TODO list

The TODO list has port the camera to ARM64.  That's done.

The list also mentions the error where the camera module won't
load if the camera isn't connected yet.  vchiq already has
a mechanism to deal with calling back into consumer when vchiq
connects, so instead of adding more code hook into that
mechanism.

That completes another TODO item.

 This was a temporary workaround for a bug that was fixed mid-2014, and
 we should remove it before stabilizing the driver.
