Add a media_pipeline_for_each_pad() macro to iterate over pads in a
pipeline. This should be used by driver as a replacement of the
media_graph_walk API, as iterating over the media_pipeline uses the
cached list of pads and is thus more efficient.

Is there any reason to have this iter struct in a public header, vs.
having it in mc-entity.c?

It has to be instantiated on the stack by the user of the
media_pipeline_for_each_pad() macro. A typical usage is

	struct media_pipeline_pad_iter iter;
	struct media_pad *pad

	media_pipeline_for_each_pad(pipe, &iter, pad) {
		...
	};

Note how iter is not a pointer.

Ah, right.

If I understand this correctly, both iter and pad are just variables the
macro will use. In other words, they are not used to pass any values.

Would it be better to declare those variables in the macro itself? Well,
that has its downsides. But perhaps at least clarify in the doc that
they are only variables used by the loop, and do not need to be initialized.

Now that the kernel uses C99, I suppose we could make the pad variable
locally declared within the loop:

#define media_pipeline_for_each_pad(pipe, pad)				\
	for (struct media_pipeline_pad *pad = __media_pipeline_pad_iter_next((pipe), iter, NULL);	\
	     pad != NULL;						\
	     pad = __media_pipeline_pad_iter_next((pipe), iter, pad))

Hiding the iter variable would be more difficult, as I don't think you
can declare multiple variables of different types.

I'm a bit concerned about backporting though, so I'd rather not do this
in this patch, but on top.

I was thinking about using a do {} while(0) around the for loop to declare the variables, but.. of course that can't be used here. One shouldn't do reviews when one has a cold =).
