You are correct. It does not touch the v4l2 core, just videobuf and videobuf2.
Although the define is in videodev2.h as well, so it's something that apps
might use as well. But frankly, 32 is a very generous maximum anyway.

Only in special cases can I imagine needing more buffers (frame slicing,
high-speed capture).
