Add a signal lock status change to the source changes bitmask.
This indicates there was a signal lock or unlock event detected
at the input of a video decoder.

I'm not entirely sure I like this. Typically losing lock means that this event
is triggered with the V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION flag set, and userspace has
to check the new timings etc., which will fail if there is no lock anymore.

This information is also available through ENUMINPUT.

I would need to know more about why you think this is needed, because I don't
see what this adds.

Hi Hans,

At least on the ADV718x, a source resolution change (from an autodetected video standard change) and a signal lock status change are distinct events. For example there can be a temporary loss of input signal lock without a change in detected
input video standard/resolution.
