Do not allow streaming if a pad with MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag is
connected by links that are all inactive.

This patch makes it possible to avoid drivers having to check for the most
common case of link state validation: a sink pad that must be connected.

With the || moved on the previous line (here and below),

I agree with Laurent here, I feel such formatting with operator at end of
line is more common in the kernel. But that's certainly not something
I would be going to die for ;)

I'd like to claim the above is more clear and conforms to GNU coding
standards whereas the kernel CodingStyle doesn't suggest either way:

<URL:http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Formatting>

I feel we've had this discussion before. :-)

I have to admit I disagree with Stallman's liberal use of parentheses and a
funny habit of having a space between a function name and the parentheses
enclosing its arguments. ;-)

If that's fine with you there's no need to resent, I'll take the patch in my
tree with that modification.

I won't say no, but I would prefer getting an ack from someone else, too,
for the two first patches. A less permissive variant of this was dismissed
around a year ago, potentially perhaps there was no pressing need for that
kind of a change. The earlier set required all sink pads must have a
connected link (which indeed was too restrictive, I agree).

<URL:https://linuxtv.org/patch/15205/>

As seen in the fourth patch of this set, this makes it possible to avoid
another loop (done in the driver) over the pipeline, which was my motivation
for this patch --- so I think this is the right thing to do.

Other drivers could be changed the same way but I think this is up to the
driver authors. There could be other reasons for the pad to need connecting;
tha absence of the flag won't say there aren't.

Patches 1, 2 look good to me. Feel free to add my Acked-by for patch 1/4 and
Tested-by for 2/4.

I'm just wondering whether we shouldn't put something what you just said
above:

"There could be other reasons for the pad to need connecting;
 the absence of the flag won't say there aren't."

in the DocBook, to make definition of the MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flags
more clear ?
