[media] media framework: rename pads init function to media_entity_pads_init()
With the MC next gen rework, what's left for media_entity_init() is to just initialize the PADs. However, certain devices, like a FLASH led/light doesn't have any input or output PAD. So, there's no reason why calling media_entity_init() would be mandatory. Also, despite its name, what this function actually does is to initialize the PADs data. So, rename it to media_entity_pads_init() in order to reflect that. The media entity actual init happens during entity register, at media_device_register_entity(). We should move init of num_links and num_backlinks to it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
