Add new fields to struct media_device to add enable_source, and disable_source handlers, and source_priv to stash driver private data that is need to run these handlers. The enable_source handler finds source entity for the passed in entity and check if it is available, and activate the link using __media_entity_setup_link() interface. Bridge driver is expected to implement and set these handlers and private data when media_device is registered or when bridge driver finds the media_device during probe. This is to enable the use-case to find tuner entity connected to the decoder entity and check if it is available, and activate it and start pipeline between the source and the entity. The disable_source handler deactivates the link and stops the pipeline. This handler can be invoked from the media core (v4l-core, dvb-core) as well as other drivers such as ALSA that control the media device.
