A lot of SOCs including Texas Instruments Davinci family mainly use
video decoders as input devices. Here the initial subdevice node
from where the input really comes is this decoder, for which support
is needed as part of the Media Controller infrastructure. This patch
adds an additional flag to include the decoders along with others,
such as the sensor and lens.

Such a new entity type needs to be documented in the media DocBook [1].
It probably also deserves a comment here, as DECODER isn't that obvious
like the other already existing entity types. I heard people referring
to a device that encodes analog (composite) video signal into its digital
representation as an ENCODER. :)
