This feature is used with GstDeviceMonitor in order to enumerate
and monitor devices to be used with the source element. The resulting
GstDevice implementation is also used by application to abstract the
configuration of the source element.

Implementation notes:
  - libcamera does not support polling yet
  - The device ID isn't unique in libcamera yet
  - The "name" property does not yet exist in libcamerasrc yet

I would already write "is used" instead of "will be used", otherwise
you'll have to change that later.

Thanks for providing documentation for the structures, it's very useful.

The comment style should be

	/*
	 * Provider and source lives in the same plugin, so making the source
	 * should never fail.
	 */

I'll try to nerd-snipe Kieran again to add this to checkstyle.py :-)
