Hi Benjamin,
Thank you for the patch.

What do you mean, "doesn't use DMA engine" ? The ISI surely has DMA
engines :-)
I have done assumption on drivers given if they use or dma_* functions.
I suspect the use of vb2_dma_sg_plane_desc() and
vb2_dma_contig_plane_dma_addr() may be more correlated to whether
there is a DMA involved or not. Usually V4L2 drivers don't really have
to deal with the DMA API explicitly, because the vb2 framework handles
most of the work.
Unfortunately isn't not true either, for example verisilicon driver use
these function but doesn't need DMA engine.
I haven't found yet a 100% criteria to decide if driver use or not DMA engine
so I plan to fix case by case given maintainers remarks.

Benjamin
Best regards,

I have considers that all PCI drivers are using DMA engine and
I don't know the design for each drivers so I hope to get this information
from maintainers and fix that in v2.
If imx8-isi driver needs a minimum number of buffers before start streaming
I will do a v2 and use min_dma_buffers_needed instead.

Benjamin
the minimum number of buffers to allocate when calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS.
That 'min_reqbufs_allocation' field purpose so use it.
