As all the subdevices in the topology will be initialized in the same
way, to avoid code repetition the vimc_ent_sd_init/cleanup helper functions
were created

v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() calls media_entity_remove_links() and 
media_device_unregister_entity(), so it would be better to call 
media_entity_cleanup() after v4l2_device_unregister_subdev().

This requires vimc_ent_subdevice being embedded as the first field of the 
parent structure, which restricts options for the code using this API. If you 
were implementing a subsystem API I'd ask for the allocation to happen outside 
of this function, with the vimc_ent_subdevice pointer being passed to the 
function. However, as this is local to the vimc driver, if you believe it 
won't be an issue in the foreseeable future then I'm fine with the 
implementation.

By the way, such core functions should really be documented with a kerneldoc 
comment block. Requirements such as the embedding field position isn't very 
apparent when you glance at the code and would benefit from being documented.

Given that struct v4l2_subdev stores a pointer to the same struct v4l2_device, 
can't you get rid of this field and use the one inside v4l2_subdev instead ?

> +	struct device *dev;

Similarly you could get the struct device from sd.v4l2_dev->mdev->dev. That 
might become a bit long though, so I'm fine keeping the field here for now.
