It is related. See:

        union {
                struct media_gobj *port0;
                struct media_pad *source;
        };

If we keep the graph_obj as the first part of media_pad, the pad
object can be accessed as either:

        link->port0
or
        link->source->graph_obj.

In practice, it means that, if one wants to know the type of the
object, it could do:

        type = media_type(link->port0)

Technically, we don't need yet to put the comment at the media_entity,
as the patch that will create interface->entity links is patch 20.
But I opted to do the comments change altogether.

OK.
