The existing v4l2-of parser functions for the video interface bindings
described in Documentation/device-tree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt
are useful for DRM drivers, too. They will be moved to drivers/media
so they can be used by drm drivers, too. Until then, duplicate the
v4l2-of parser functions temporarily.

Ergh. So, because we can't get agreement on where to put the common
helpers, we have to put up with adding duplicate helpers into the
staging directory, inflating not only the kernel source code size
but also the binary size as well.
This part is only for the convenience of prospective reviewers/testers.
I hope I don't have exhausted your patience at this patch, because the
real changes start at 3/9.
This is one reason why I still didn't drop the RFC. Basically, with so
many moving parts, I didn't feel like telling people to fetch three
different series just to make sense of this one.
Come on people, get agreement on how to deal with this. Staging may
be a dumping ground for drivers which aren't ready to be merged as
proper drivers, but this is no reason to ignore proper process.
Do we, or do we not want to get imx-drm out of drivers/staging? If
we do, the only way that's going to happen is if we stop throwing in
this kind of stuff.

Philipp
