For link validation on video device drivers, it may be required to
match the formats set on the source subdev with the formats set on the
video device.
Export the existing v4l2_subdev_link_validate_get_format() helper so it
can be reused by such drivers.

/**
* v4l2_subdev_link_validate - validates a media link

I don't know about this one... The
v4l2_subdev_link_validate_get_format() is a bit of an internal function,
especially with the relatively-new "states_locked" parameter. If it's
made public, at least the "states_locked" should be renamed to
"state_locked" (well, it could perhaps be renamed anyway).
But just looking at the function doc above, I think the developer's
question would be "what does this do?". What does "get format for media
link validation" mean? Is it similar to
v4l2_subdev_state_get_stream_format() or v4l2_subdev_get_pad_format()?
What does states_locked do?
How do you use this with multi-stream support? Do you lock the source,
then validate all streams (with the help of this function), and then
unlock? If yes, then all the states_locked stuff is extra, and all the
function really does is v4l2_subdev_call(sd, pad, get_fmt, state, fmt).
And if so, would it be clearer to just do that, instead of hiding it
behind v4l2_subdev_link_validate_get_format()?
