[PATCH v2 1/3] media: v4l: Add helper to get number of active lanes via a pad

Sometimes, users will not use all of the MIPI CSI 2 lanes available when
connecting to the MIPI CSI receiver of their device. Add a helper
function that checks the mbus_config for the device driver to allow
users to define the number of active data lanes through the
get_mbus_config op.

If the driver does not implement this op, fall back to using the number
of data lanes specified in device tree.
