You're right, that looks better.

This will at least prevent failure of user space code like this one [1].

But is it really a critical error condition ? IIRC s5p-mfc driver uses buffers
with bytesused = 0 to signal end of stream (I'm not judging whether it is
right or not at the moment). I'm no sure if such a configuration should be 
disallowed right at the v4l2-core.

Sure, I'm preparing a patch. And...

additionally adding a debug print here, so it is easier to find out
why QBUF fails.
