A general note: I think this patch (and any prerequisite patches) should come before
the patches adding G_TOPOLOGY support.

What the G_TOPOLOGY ioctl returns only makes sense IMHO if this code is present as well,
so it is a more logical order for this patch series.

In addition, since G_TOPOLOGY is a userspace API it is likely that that will create
more discussions, whereas this is internal to the kernel and could be merged before
G_TOPOLOGY.

RADIO doesn't have an entity either, so this should probably check for both
SUBDEV and RADIO.

I think it is cleaner if video_register_media_controller() sets a new video_device
flag: V4L2_FL_CREATED_ENTITY, and if this release function would just check the
flag.

You need a NULL pointer check here as well. It might be a good idea to add
__must_check to the media_create_intf_link() prototype. I think there are
more places where this isn't checked.
