Yes. I think we should just make a u32 flags, use bits 0 and 1 for the direction
and add a simple inline like this:

static inline u8 media_dir(struct media_pad *pad)
{
	return pad->flags & MEDIA_PAD_MASK_DIR);
}

And we should use the same for media_k_pad (and make a media_k_dir inline).

Is u8 definitely enough or u16? I assume u16.
