media: Documentation: v4l: Document required controls on camera sensors

Browse source 
Raw camera sensors connected to parallel or CSI-2 busses need to implement
V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ control so receiver drivers can configure the hardware
accordingly.

Document this. Also say V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE is recommended for such
hardware.

Controls
--------
For camera sensors that are connected to a bus where transmitter and receiver
require common configuration set by drivers, such as CSI-2 or parallel (BT.601
or BT.656) bus, the ``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ`` control is mandatory on transmitter
drivers. Receiver drivers can use the ``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ`` to query the
frequency used on the bus.
The transmitter drivers should also implement ``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE`` control in
order to tell the maximum pixel rate to the receiver. This is required on raw
camera sensors.
