Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] meida: uvcvideo: reimplement privacy gpio as a separate subdevice

privacy_gpio in uvc were added as V4L2_CID_PRIVACY in uvc video node in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20201223133528.55014-1-ribalda@chromium.org/

Userspace applications often require to constantly poll privacy control.
Currently, polling privacy control requires keeping the video node open,
which prevents the camera from autosuspending.

This patchset adds a separate v4l2 subdevice. Userspace access the gpio
via V4L2_CID_PRIVACY in the new subdevice. Applications can poll the
privacy control status without opening the video node and activate the
camera.

The non-gpio V4L2_CID_PRIVACY in uvc is not affected.
