[RFC v5] V4L DT bindings

Hi all

Version 5 of this RFC is a result of a discussion of its version 4, which 
took place during the recent Linux Plumbers conference in San Diego. 
Changes are:

(1) remove bus-width properties from device (bridge and client) top level. 
This has actually already been decided upon during our discussions with 
Sylwester, I just forgot to actually remove them, sorry.

(2) links are now grouped under "ports." This should help better describe 
device connection topology by making clearer, which interfaces links are 
attached to. (help needed: in my notes I see "port" optional if only one 
port is present, but I seem to remember, that the final decision was - 
make ports compulsory for uniformity. Which one is true?)

(3) "videolink" is renamed to just "link."

(4) "client" is renamed to "remote" and is now used on both sides of 
links.

(5) clock-names in clock consumer nodes (e.g., camera sensors) should 
reflect clock input pin names from respective datasheets

(6) also serial bus description should be placed under respective link 
nodes.

(7) reference remote link DT nodes in "remote" properties, not to the 
parent.

(8) use standard names for "SoC-external" (e.g., i2c) devices on their 
respective busses. "Sensor" has been proposed, maybe "camera" is a better 
match though.

Thanks
