media: Documentation: Additional streams generally don't harm capture 

Having extra streams on the source end of the link that cannot be captured
by the sink sub-device generally are not an issue, at least not on CSI-2
bus. Still document that there may be hardware-specific limitations. For
example on parallel bus this might not work on all cases.

Subdevice drivers that support multiplexed streams are compatible with
non-multiplexed subdev drivers, but, of course, require a routing configuration
where the link between those two types of drivers contains only a single
stream.
non-multiplexed subdev drivers. However, if the driver at the sink end of a link
does not support streams, then only stream 0 of source end may be captured.
There may be additional limitations specific to the sink device.
