5680fe45d6 media: mc-entity: Add a new helper function to get a remote pad
The media_entity_remote_pad_first() helper function returns the first
remote pad it finds connected to a given pad. Beside being possibly
non-deterministic (as it stops at the first enabled link), the fact that
it returns the first match makes it unsuitable for drivers that need to
guarantee that a single link is enabled, for instance when an entity can
process data from one of multiple sources at a time.

For those use cases, add a new helper function,
media_entity_remote_pad_unique(), that operates on an entity and returns
a remote pad, with a guarantee that only one link is enabled. To ease
its use in drivers, also add an inline wrapper that locates source pads
specifically. A wrapper that locates sink pads can easily be added when
needed.

b2e44430b6 media: mc-entity: Rename media_entity_remote_pad() to media_pad_remote_pad_first()
The media_entity_remote_pad() is misnamed, as it operates on a pad and
not an entity. Rename it to media_pad_remote_pad_first() to clarify its
behaviour.

9303c9d5e9 docs: get rid of :c:type explicit declarations for structs
The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before
Sphinx 3.x.

On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the
.. c:struct, and referenced via :c:struct tag.

As we now have the automarkup.py macro, that automatically
convert:
	struct foo

into cross-references, let's get rid of that, solving
several warnings when building docs with Sphinx 3.x.
