Media DT bindings and V4L2 OF parsing library

Mauro,

This includes two patches adding device tree support at the V4L2 API. I added Rob and Grant at Cc in case they still wanted to comment on those patches. Not sure what the exact policy is but I guess we need an explicit DT maintainer's Ack on stuff like this.

These patches have been discussed quite extensively and first versions appeared about 6 months ago. Now we need DT support at the media subsystem since some SoCs are already starting to loose non-dt booting support upstream. Without this most of our media drivers would have been pretty useless.

Thanks,
Sylwester

Mauro,

Bindings regularly go in without Grant's or my ack simply because there are too many to keep up with and it really requires knowledge of the particular h/w being described.

I've skimmed thru this one on several versions and nothing concerning jumps out. So I think it is good to go in.
