[media] doc-rst: Fix conversion for MC core functions

There were lots of issues at the media controller side,
after the conversion:

- Some documentation at the header files weren't using the
  kernel-doc start block;

- Now, the C files with the exported symbols also need to be
  added. So, all headers need to be included twice: one to
  get the structs/enums/.. and another one for the functions;

- Notes should use the ReST tag, as kernel-doc doesn't
  recognizes it anymore;

- Identation needs to be fixed, as ReST uses it to identify
  when a format "tag" ends.

- Fix the cross-references at the media controller description.

Graph traversal
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
......@@ -132,92 +138,103 @@ The media framework provides APIs to iterate over entities in a graph.

Drivers might also need to iterate over all entities in a graph that can be
reached only through enabled links starting at a given entity. The media
framework provides a depth-first graph traversal API for that purpose.
Note that graphs with cycles (whether directed or undirected) are *NOT*
supported by the graph traversal API. To prevent infinite loops, the graph
traversal code limits the maximum depth to MEDIA_ENTITY_ENUM_MAX_DEPTH,
currently defined as 16.

Graphs with cycles (whether directed or undirected) are **NOT**
supported by the graph traversal API. To prevent infinite loops, the graph
traversal code limits the maximum depth to ``MEDIA_ENTITY_ENUM_MAX_DEPTH``,
currently defined as 16.
Drivers initiate a graph traversal by calling
media_entity_graph_walk_start()
:cpp:func:`media_entity_graph_walk_start()`
The graph structure, provided by the caller, is initialized to start graph
traversal at the given entity.
Drivers can then retrieve the next entity by calling
media_entity_graph_walk_next()
:cpp:func:`media_entity_graph_walk_next()`
When the graph traversal is complete the function will return NULL.
When the graph traversal is complete the function will return ``NULL``.
Graph traversal can be interrupted at any moment. No cleanup function call
is required and the graph structure can be freed normally.
Helper functions can be used to find a link between two given pads, or a pad
connected to another pad through an enabled link

:cpp:func:`media_entity_remote_pad()`.
Use count and power handling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management
needs, the media controller does not implement power management. However,
the &media_entity structure includes a use_count field that media drivers
the :c:type:`struct media_entity <media_entity>` includes a ``use_count``
field that media drivers
can use to track the number of users of every entity for power management
needs.

Links setup
^^^^^^^^^^^
Link properties can be modified at runtime by calling
media_entity_setup_link()
:cpp:func:`media_entity_setup_link()`.
Pipelines and media streams
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When starting streaming, drivers must notify all entities in the pipeline to
prevent link states from being modified during streaming by calling
media_entity_pipeline_start().
:cpp:func:`media_entity_pipeline_start()`.
The function will mark all entities connected to the given entity through
enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming.
The &media_pipeline instance pointed to by the pipe argument will be stored
in every entity in the pipeline. Drivers should embed the &media_pipeline
structure in higher-level pipeline structures and can then access the
pipeline through the &media_entity pipe field.
