[PATCH v8 7/7] media: open.rst: add a notice about subdev-API on vdev-centric

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

The documentation doesn't mention if vdev-centric hardware
control would have subdev API or not.

Add a notice about that, reflecting the current status, where
three drivers use it, in order to support some subdev-specific
controls.
