From: ayaka <ayaka@xxxxxxxxxxx> User-space applications can use the VIDIOC_REQBUFS ioctl to determine if a memory mapped, user pointer or DMABUF based I/O is supported by the driver. So a set of VIDIOC_REQBUFS ioctl calls will be made with count 0 and then the real VIDIOC_REQBUFS call with count == n. But for count 0, the driver not only frees the buffer but also closes the MFC instance and s5p_mfc_ctx state is set to MFCINST_FREE. The VIDIOC_REQBUFS handler for the output device checks if the s5p_mfc_ctx state is set to MFCINST_INIT (which happens on an VIDIOC_S_FMT) and fails otherwise. So after a VIDIOC_REQBUFS(n), future VIDIOC_REQBUFS(n) calls will fails unless a VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl calls happens before the reqbufs. But applications may first set the format and then attempt to determine the I/O methods supported by the driver (for example Gstramer does it) so the state won't be set to MFCINST_INIT again and VIDIOC_REQBUFS will fail. To avoid this issue, only free the buffers on VIDIOC_REQBUFS(0) but don't close the MFC instance to allow future VIDIOC_REQBUFS(n) calls to succeed.
