[PATCH 8/8] media: uvcvideo: Do not create MC entities for virtual entities

From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Thu Apr 03 2025 - 16:27:10 EST


Neither the GPIO nor the FWNODE entities form part of the device
pipeline. We just create them to hold emulated uvc controls.

When the device initializes, a warning is thrown by the v4l2 core:
uvcvideo 1-1:1.0: Entity type for entity FWNODE was not initialized!

There are no entity function that matches what we are doing here, and
it does not make to much sense to create a function for entities that
do not really exist.

Do not create MC entities for them and pretend nothing happened here.
