Correct, but userspace can queue multiple jobs by queuing multiple
output and capture buffers, one of each per job. It doesn't have to wait
for the completion of a job before starting the next one.

When multiple jobs are queued, setting the control will become
asynchronous relative to the jobs, you won't know to which job the new
map applies. This is due to the asynchronous nature of V4L2 controls.
The way to synchronize controls with jobs would be to use the request
API, which adds complexity. Another option is to avoid queuing multiple
jobs, which is a bit of a workaround that results in reduce throughput.

What I wonder, and would like to have your feedback on, is whether
synchronous operation is needed in some of the DW100 use cases (and in
particular in your use cases).
