It just came to me that instead of using the multiplanar variable
everywhere, you can just check the vcap->vdev.device_caps to see if
multiplanar is supported. This way, you can add this multiplanar
variable together with the capability in the [PATCH 16/16] media: vimc:
cap: Dynamically define device caps.

Like this, we won't have the weird state where user can set
multiplanar=1 but the capabilities says it doesn't really support
multiplanar.
