Removed.

Some hardware have internally a simple signal generator on the
chipset that generate test sequences. They're part of the input
selection switch. In the case of au0828, the demodulator (actually au8522)
has the follow inputs:
        - TV connector;
        - S-Video input connector;
        - Composite input connector;
        - TV signal test generator.

The input can be controlled via V4L2 VIDIOC_*_INPUT ioctls. The
Media Controller should be able to reflect the topology, as keeping
this input not visible would be inconsistent.

Not sure what you're meaning here.

The distinction between connectors and "normal" entities was largely
discussed during the MC workshop. See the workshop notes.

During the discussions of the Hans RFC sent just after the workshop, we 
decided that, instead of adding yet another graph type, it would be
easier to just add a flag for the connectors.
