The MUST_CONNECT flag only affects sink pads. That's not documented
though, and it seems that most drivers using the flag sets it on both
sink and source pads. That's probably a good practice, and the fact that
the flag is only checked for sink pads is more of an implementation
detail. This patch is thus fine.

However, I think you should then set the flag on the source pad of the
IP entity in patch 02/16. You can keep my Rb.
