You're not filling in the 'field' field of struct v4l2_buffer when returning a
frame. It should most likely be FIELD_NONE in your case.

No, it means that your driver is not returning all buffers to vb2. Most
likely this is missing in the vb2 stop_streaming op. When that is called
your driver must return all buffers it has back to vb2 by calling
vb2_buffer_done with state ERROR. The same can happen in the start_streaming
op if that returns an error for some reason. In that case all buffers owned
by the driver should be returned to vb2 with state QUEUED. See also
Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.c as reference code.
