Drivers often need to associate pipeline objects to entities, and to
take stream state into account when configuring entities and links. The
pipeline API helps drivers manage that information.
When starting streaming, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_start(). The
function marks all entities connected to the given entity through
enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming. Similarly,
when stopping the stream, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_stop().
The media_entity_pipeline_start() function takes a pointer to a media
pipeline and stores it in every entity in the graph. Drivers should
embed the media_pipeline structure in higher-level pipeline structures
and can then access the pipeline through the media_entity structure.
Link configuration will fail with -EBUSY by default if either end of the
link is a streaming entity, unless the link is marked with the
MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC flag.

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.
