Right now we power-up the device when a user open() the device and we
power it off when the last user close() the first video node.

This behaviour affects the power consumption of the device is multiple
use cases, such as:
- Polling the privacy gpio
- udev probing the device

This patchset introduces a more granular power saving behaviour where
the camera is only awaken when needed. It is compatible with
asynchronous controls.

While developing this patchset, two bugs were found. The patchset has
been developed so these fixes can be taken independently.
