This is not true here... non-embedded drivers like DVB and UVC can work
with or without the media controller. For them, the API is experimental.

This sounds OK.

The only reason why I didn't make this change is because of the 
"EXPERIMENTAL" warning. 

At least while this API is considered experimental, it sounds
wise to have a warning.

Perhaps we could apply this hunk, and add something like 
this to media/Kconfig:

comment "Please notice that the enabled Media controller Request API is EXPERIMENTAL"
	depends on MEDIA_CONTROLLER_REQUEST_API

Mauro
