If we do like you propose then we will be getting the wrong ready_count
and queue buffers unordered (in the next two places this code snipet
appears.
In this function I want to know how many ready buffers are in the front
of the buffer. A buffer will be ready if:
* it has no fence
* it has a fence but it was signaled already
Then we start walking the queue looking for such buffers in order and
stop as soon as we find a buffer that doesn't meet these criteria. Hence
the 'break' command to interrupt the loop. If we don't break we may
queue the next buffer on the queue (if it matches the criteria) without
queueing the current one. So we really need break out from the loop
here.

I don't believe it affects the behaviour at all, without fences the
queue will never have more than one buffer in the queue. The queue will
only have more buffers on the queue when fences are used and fences for
the buffers in front of the queue didn't signal yet.

Rigth. This should have been put in a separated patch, but it is not
changing the behaviour at all. The 'if' above this one was
if (q->start_streaming_called)
and the 'if' below had a !q->start_streaming_called condition, so it
was a sort of else already.

This is not an error. If the if succeeds it mean we have installed a
callback for the fence. If not, it means the fence signaled already and
we don't can call __vb2_core_qbuf right away.
