Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 996ca83c46 Revert "media: uvcvideo: Require entities to have a non-zero unique ID"
commit 8004d635f27bbccaa5c083c50d4d5302a6ffa00e upstream.

This reverts commit 3dd075fe8ebbc6fcbf998f81a75b8c4b159a6195.

Tomasz has reported that his device, Generalplus Technology Inc. 808 Camera,
with ID 1b3f:2002, stopped being detected:

$ ls -l /dev/video*
zsh: no matches found: /dev/video*
[    7.230599] usb 3-2: Found multiple Units with ID 5

This particular device is non-compliant, having both the Output Terminal
and Processing Unit with ID 5. uvc_scan_fallback, though, is able to build
a chain. However, when media elements are added and uvc_mc_create_links
call uvc_entity_by_id, it will get the incorrect entity,
media_create_pad_link will WARN, and it will fail to register the entities.

In order to reinstate support for such devices in a timely fashion,
reverting the fix for these warnings is appropriate. A proper fix that
considers the existence of such non-compliant devices will be submitted in
a later development cycle.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
