I have some good reasons here that make dynamic resolution should happen in the device_run().
1. If the CAPTURE is STREAMON, when the resolution changed event should be triggered? Of course it would be in device_run(), there is no reason to make an special case here.
The following reasons may be better applied for encrypted(DRM) video, when no normal video stream parser could be invoked.
We don’t know whether the user input contains valid sequence header, would the sequence header applied to the current frame? Beside the metadata we need may not at the beginning of the buffer.
2. If it would cost lots of device time on parsing it, it even may even need to read more than one OUTPUT buffers, we would be better to fix this into the normal schedule procedure. Or it would block the other running contexts(instances)
3. We need extra methods to wait the other context done their work which breaks the original job queue.
buffered flag is a perfect way to fix these problems, I didn’t see any m2m driver uses them.
