There apparently is no reason to require 3 queued buffers to call
streamon() for the RkISP1 as the driver operates with a scratch buffer
where frames can be directed to if there's no available buffer provided
by userspace.
Reduce the number of required buffers to 0 to allow applications to
operate by queueing capture buffers on-demand.
Tested with libcamera, by operating with a single capture request. The
same request (and associated capture buffer) gets recycled once
completed. This of course causes a frame rate drop but doesn't hinder
operations.

The first version of this patch set min_queued_buffers to 1, but setting it
to 0 doesn't compromise operations and it's even better as it allows application
to queue buffers to the capture devices on-demand. If a buffer is not provided
to the DMA engines, image data gets directed to the driver's internal scratch
buffer.
