[ Upstream commit b3decc5ce7d778224d266423b542326ad469cb5f ]

The MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag indicates that the pad requires an
enabled link to stream, but only if it has any link at all. This makes
little sense, as if a pad is part of a pipeline, there are very few use
cases for an active link to be mandatory only if links exist at all. A
review of in-tree drivers confirms they all need an enabled link for
pads marked with the MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag.

Expand the scope of the flag by rejecting pads that have no links at
all. This requires modifying the pipeline build code to add those pads
to the pipeline.

[ Upstream commit 9ec9109cf9f611e3ec9ed0355afcc7aae5e73176 ]

The pad local variable in the media_pipeline_explore_next_link()
function is used to store the pad through which the entity has been
reached. Rename it to origin to reflect that and make the code easier to
read. This will be even more important in subsequent commits when
expanding the function with additional logic.

Maintain a counter of the links connected to a pad in the media_pad
structure. This helps checking if a pad is connected to anything, which
will be used in the pipeline building code.

[ Upstream commit 422f7af75d03d50895938d38bc9cb8be759c440f ]

The media_create_pad_link() function doesn't correctly clear reject link
type flags, nor does it set the DATA_LINK flag. It only works because
the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DATA_LINK flag's value is 0.

Fix it by returning an error if any link type flag is set. This doesn't
introduce any regression, as nobody calls the media_create_pad_link()
function with link type flags (easily checked by grepping for the flag
in the source code, there are very few hits).

Set the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DATA_LINK explicitly, which is a no-op that the
compiler will optimize out, but is still useful to make the code more
explicit and easier to understand.

[ Upstream commit 78f0daa026d4c5e192d31801d1be6caf88250220 ]

When building pipelines by following links, the
media_pipeline_explore_next_link() function only traverses enabled
links. The remote pad of a disabled link is not added to the pipeline,
and neither is the local pad. While the former is correct as disabled
links should not be followed, not adding the local pad breaks processing
of the MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag.

The MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag is checked in the
__media_pipeline_start() function that iterates over all pads after
populating the pipeline. If the pad is not present, the check gets
skipped, rendering it useless.

Fix this by adding the local pad of all links regardless of their state,
only skipping the remote pad for disabled links.

[Note: the code is mostly from Laurent but the patch description is from Tomi]

The media_pipeline_start() and media_pipeline_stop() functions use the
media graph walk API to traverse the graph and validate the pipeline.
The graph walk traverses the media graph following links between the
entities.

Also, while the pipeline can't change between the start and stop calls,
the graph is walked again from scratch at stop time, or any time a
driver needs to inspect the pipeline.

With the upcoming multiplexed streams support we will need a bit more
intelligent pipeline construction, as e.g. two independent streams may
be passing through a single entity via separate pads in which case
those pads should not be part of the same pipeline.

This patch essentially rewrites the media_pipeline_start/stop so that
a pipeline is defined as a set of pads instead of entities and the media
graph traversal considers the pad interdependencies when choosing which
links to follow.

Currently all the entity's pads are considered as interdependent. This
means that the behavior with all the current drivers stays the same, but
in the future we can define a more fine-grained pipeline construction.

Additionally the media pipeline's pads are cached at
media_pipeline_start() time, and re-used at media_pipeline_stop() which
avoid the need to re-walk the whole graph as the previous implementation
did.

Also, caching pads in the pipeline can serve in the future as the
foundation to provide a better API than the media graph walk to drivers
to iterate over pads and entities in the pipeline.

Note that the old media_pipeline_start/stop used the media graph walk
API. The new version does not use the media graph walk API, but instead
a new implementation.

There are two reasons for not changing the graph walk: it proved to be
rather difficult to change the graph walk to have the features
implemented in this patch, and second, this keeps the backward
compatibility of the graph walk as there are users of the graph walk API

The long term plan is that all the existing code would be converted to
use the new cached pipeline, thus allowing us to remove the graph walk.

Add new variant of media_pipeline_start(), media_pipeline_alloc_start().

media_pipeline_alloc_start() can be used by drivers that do not need to
extend the media_pipeline. The function will either use the pipeline
already associated with the entity, if such exists, or allocate a new
pipeline.

When media_pipeline_stop() is called and the pipeline's use count drops
to zero, the pipeline is automatically freed.
