media: v4l: async: Rename v4l2_async_subdev as v4l2_async_connection

Rename v4l2_async_subdev as v4l2_async_connection, in order to
differentiate between the sub-devices and their connections: one
sub-device can have many connections but the V4L2 async framework has so
far allowed just a single one. Connections in this context will later
translate into either MC ancillary or data links.

This patch prepares changing that relation by changing existing users of
v4l2_async_subdev to switch to v4l2_async_connection. Async sub-devices
themselves will not be needed anymore

Additionally, __v4l2_async_nf_add_subdev() has been renamed
__v4l2_async_nf_add_connection().

media: staging: media: Add support for the Allwinner A31 ISP

Some Allwinner platforms come with an Image Signal Processor, which
supports various features in order to enhance and transform data
received by image sensors into good-looking pictures. In most cases,
the data is raw bayer, which gets internally converted to RGB and
finally YUV, which is what the hardware produces.

This driver supports ISPs that are similar to the A31 ISP, which was
the first standalone ISP found in Allwinner platforms. Simpler ISP
blocks were found in the A10 and A20, where they are tied to a CSI
controller. Newer generations of Allwinner SoCs (starting with the
H6, H616, etc) come with a new camera subsystem and revised ISP.
Even though these previous and next-generation ISPs are somewhat
similar to the A31 ISP, they have enough significant differences to
be out of the scope of this driver.

While the ISP supports many features, including 3A and many
enhancement blocks, this implementation is limited to the following:
- V3s (V3/S3) platform support;
- Bayer media bus formats as input;
- Semi-planar YUV (NV12/NV21) as output;
- Debayering with per-component gain and offset configuration;
- 2D noise filtering with configurable coefficients.

Since many features are missing from the associated uAPI, the driver
is aimed to integrate staging until all features are properly
described.

On the technical side, it uses the v4l2 and media controller APIs,
with a video node for capture, a processor subdev and a video node
for parameters submission. A specific uAPI structure and associated
v4l2 meta format are used to configure parameters of the supported
modules.

One particular thing about the hardware is that configuration for
module registers needs to be stored in a DMA buffer and gets copied
to actual registers by the hardware at the next vsync, when instructed
by a flag. This is handled by the "state" mechanism in the driver.
