Document the expected {enable,disable}_streams callback behaviour for
drivers that are stream-unaware i.e. don't specify the
V4L2_SUBDEV_CAP_STREAMS sub-device capability flat. In this specific case,
the mask argument can be ignored.

Wouldn't it be better to use BIT(0) in that case to simplifiy
interoperability with stream-aware devices ?

The caller has to set BIT(0), but I think here the documentation is about the callee.

If the driver is not stream aware and implements the callbacks, it will get BIT(0) as the mask parameter (do we enforce this?), but as there's nothing it can do with the parameter it "does not need to be concerned with the mask argument".
