Did you test on V3s?
I haven't tested it with MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV8_2X8.

The Allwinner CSI's DMA is definitely weird. Ondřej Jirman thought
that CSI has an internal queue (Ondřej's commit has explained in detail).
I think CSI just pick up the buffer address before the frame done 
interrupt triggered. 
The patch in attachment can deal with this. You can see if it is
useful to solve your problem.

Thanks,
Yong
