Subject: [PATCH] media: Request API is no longer experimental

The Request API is currently used and specified as part of the
Memory-to-memory Stateless Video Decoder Interface [1].

This can now be considered as non-experimental and stable, given
the decoder API has been used by products since a couple years,
supported by several drivers and userspace frameworks,

 	  This option enables the Request API for the Media controller and V4L2
 	  interfaces. It is currently needed by a few stateless codec drivers.
