While switching back, I have to change the struct vb2_ops::queue_setup()
operation to take a struct v4l2_create_buffers pointer. An earlier version
of this patch just added one more parameter to .queue_setup(), which is
easier - changes to videobuf2-core.c are smaller, but it is then
redundant. We could use the create pointer for both input and output. The
video plane configuration in frame format is the same as what is
calculated in .queue_setup(), IIUC. So, we could just let the driver fill
that one in. This would require then the videobuf2-core.c to parse struct
v4l2_format to decide which union member we need, depending on the buffer
type. Do we want this or shall drivers duplicate plane sizes in separate
.queue_setup() parameters?
Thanks
