The current order of locking between the driver mutex and the v4l2
subdev state lock causes a circuluar locking dependency when trying to
set up a link. Fix this.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the patch.

This being said, I think we should deprecate the video-mux driver and
implement a driver that uses the V4L2 subdev internal routing API
instead of basing the routing configuration on link setup. Any opinion ?

Sounds good to me. But do we need a new driver? The subdev client streams
capability flag should help here, just as it does on other drivers.

I applied this one, with spelling fixed in the commit message.

Good point, we could switch the driver behaviour depending on client
capabilities. I like this !
