It can be used for media entities which are not part of subdev.
I will add statement about it.
Besides subdev, for now only video_device uses media entity.
I am not 100% sure about advantages of adding devm_media_entity_init -
currently only 7 drivers in kernel uses video_device and
media_entity_cleanup in those drivers is called not as straightforward
as in subdevs.
Replacing it with managed version would require deeper analysis :)
