This needs more discussion. The plan (as I understand it) is to have properties
that describe the entity's functionalities.

The existing entity subtypes will exist only as backwards compat types, but in
the future properties should be used to describe the functionalities.

This raises the question if we shouldn't use MEDIA_ENT_T_V4L2_SUBDEV to tell
userspace that this is a subdev-controlled entity, and let userspace look at
the properties to figure out what it is exactly?

It could be that this is a transitional patch, and this will be fixed later.
If so, this should be mentioned in the commit message.
