Hi Dafna,

Thanks for working on this.

If I understand correctly, this isn't  true anymore right? Nested calls aren't
possible anymore since this version doesn't contain stream_count in struct v4l2_subdevice.

Documentation of v4l2_pipeline_stream_*() should also be updated.

Just to be clear, without the nested call, vimc will require to add its own
counters, patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10948833/ will be
required again to allow multi streaming.

Also, patch "media: staging: rkisp1: cap: use v4l2_pipeline_stream_{enable,disable}"
is cleaner in the previous version (with stream_count in struct v4l2_subdevice).

All drivers that allows multi streaming will need to implement some special handling.

Adding stream_count in struct v4l2_subdevice still seems cleaner to me. I'd like to hear
what others think.

You are assuming that media_pipeline_start() will always be called before v4l2_pipeline_stream_enable().
I think this is fine, but it should reflect in the docs.
