The initialisation of vb_type in serialized_open was preventing REQBUFS from working reliably. Remove it, and move the spinlock into stream_init for good measure - it's only used when we have a stream that supports videobuf anyway. Signed-off-by: Simon Farnsworth <simon.farnsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Mauro, This fixes a bug I introduced, and noticed while trying to work out how videobuf works and interacts with the rest of the driver, in preparation for working out how to port this code to videobuf2. Briefly, if you open a device node at the wrong time, you lose videobuf support forever.
