Oh, okay I tought you mean I should at the link_flags to the
media_entity_setup_link() call inside the list_for_each_entry(). Now I
got you, I will enable the link the during the media_create_pad_link()
call. This answers my initial question :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback :) I will prepare the v2. This v2 will
only contain those patches which aren't applied to your tvp5150-3 branch.
Is that okay?
