This patch changes the order of operations during stream on call. Now the
buffers are first queued to the driver and then the start_streaming method
is called.

This resolves the most common case when the driver needs to know buffer
addresses to enable dma engine and start streaming. Additional parameter
to start_streaming method have been added to simplify drivers code. The
driver are now obliged to check if the number of queued buffers is high
enough to enable hardware streaming. If not - it can return an error. In
such case all the buffers that have been pre-queued are invalidated.

This patch also updates all videobuf2 clients to work properly with the
changed order of operations.

Hello,

This is yet another version of the patch that introduces significant
changes in the vb2 streamon operation. I've decided to remove the
additional parameter to buf_queue callback and added a few cleanups here
and there. This patch also includes an update for all vb2 clients.
Please check if my change didn't break anything.

Best regards

Just for the record: These are not all vb2 clients. A simple grep for 
something like vb2_ops gives you also

drivers/media/video/mx3_camera.c
drivers/media/video/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c

Thanks

Yes, they are also vb2 clients, but since they don't use start_streaming() 
callback no changes were needed there. Same applies to mem2mem_testdev driver.
