call_s_stream() uses sd->enabled_streams to track whether streaming has
already been enabled. However,
v4l2_subdev_enable/disable_streams_fallback(), which was the original
user of this field, already uses it, and
v4l2_subdev_enable/disable_streams_fallback() will call call_s_stream().
This leads to a conflict as both functions set the field. Afaics, both
functions set the field to the same value, so it won't cause a runtime
bug, but it's still wrong and if we, e.g., change how
v4l2_subdev_enable/disable_streams_fallback() operates we might easily
cause bugs.
Fix this by adding a new field, 'streaming_enabled', for
call_s_stream().

Hi Tomi,
Thank you for the patch.

Could you extend this to indicate this field can't be used by anything
else than call_s_stream() ?
I'm also getting a bit concerned about having multiple fields with
similar purposes. Another option would be to call the .s_stream()
operation directly from the fallback handlers, instead of going through
call_s_stream(). That may be considered as a bit of a hack though.

Yes, I'll add that.

I agree, it's getting slightly complex. The reason is that we support
many ways for the subdev to implement these things.

I thought about the same thing, but I felt it might just make things
more complex. However, with my new unsent series, I add the privacy_led
code also to the v4l2_subdev_enable_streams() function, so it's even
more similar to the call_s_stream.
Maybe I'll try it out and see how it looks like if I call the op directly.
