I feel like this papers over the issue.  It would be better to figure
out why this is failing and fix it properly.  -3 is -ESRCH and when I
grep for ESRCH I only see it used in the ioctl so that can't be it.

I think it must be -MMAL_MSG_STATUS_EINVAL actually, but it comes from
the firmware or something so we can't grep for it.

Can we do some more digging to find out why it's failing or otherwise
we could add a comment.

	/*
	 * FIXME:  port_parameter_set() sometimes fails with
	 * -MMAL_MSG_STATUS_EINVAL and we don't know why so we're
	 * ignoring those errors for now.
	 *
	 */
	return 0;
