The s_power documentation in v4l2-subdev.h does not mention that it is 
depreciated. A documentation update is in order. I will send a separate 
patch to do it.

I tested this with OV5640. Not doing an s_power() operation before 
s_stream() does not work. The application freezes forever waiting for 
the first frame. So the OV5640 driver needs to be updated to use runtime 
PM to do this, right?
