[media] media: Links setup
Create the following ioctl and implement it at the media device level to setup links. - MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK: Modify the properties of a given link The only property that can currently be modified is the ENABLED link flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the IMMUTABLE link flag can not be enabled or disabled. Enabling or disabling a link has effects on entities' use count. Those changes are automatically propagated through the graph.

+ <para>To change link properties applications fill a &media-link-desc; with
+ link identification information (source and sink pad) and the new requested
+ link flags. They then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to
+ that structure.</para>
+ <para>The only configurable property is the <constant>ENABLED</constant>
+ link flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the
+ <constant>IMMUTABLE</constant> link flag can not be enabled or disabled.
+ </para>
+ <para>Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled
+ link at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver
+ returns with an &EBUSY;.</para>
