media: add tuner standby op, use where needed



The v4l2_subdev core s_power op was used for two different things: power on/off
sensors or video decoders/encoders and to put a tuner in standby (and only the
tuner!). There is no 'tuner wakeup' op, that's done automatically when the tuner
is accessed.

The danger with calling (s_power, 0) to put a tuner into standby is that it is
usually broadcast for all subdevs. So a video receiver subdev that supports
s_power will also be powered off, and since there is no corresponding (s_power, 1)
they will never be powered on again.

In addition, this is specifically meant for tuners only since they draw the most
current.

This patch adds a new tuner op called 'standby' and replaces all calls to
(core, s_power, 0) by (tuner, standby). This prevents confusion between the two
uses of s_power. Note that there is no overlap: bridge drivers either just want
to put the tuner into standby, or they deal with powering on/off sensors. Never
both.

This also makes it easier to replace s_power for the remaining bridge drivers
with some PM code later.

Whether we want something cleaner for tuners in the future is a separate topic.
There is a lot of legacy code surrounding tuners, and I am very hesitant about
making changes there.
