[media] V4L2: support asynchronous subdevice registration
Currently bridge device drivers register devices for all subdevices
synchronously, typically, during their probing. E.g. if an I2C CMOS sensor
is attached to a video bridge device, the bridge driver will create an I2C
device and wait for the respective I2C driver to probe. This makes linking
of devices straight forward, but this approach cannot be used with
intrinsically asynchronous and unordered device registration systems like
the Flattened Device Tree. To support such systems this patch adds an
asynchronous subdevice registration framework to V4L2. To use it respective
(e.g. I2C) subdevice drivers must register themselves with the framework.
A bridge driver on the other hand must register notification callbacks,
that will be called upon various related events.
