'min_buffers_needed' is suppose to be used to indicate the number

cx231xx driver doesn't use DMA engine and just want to specify
the minimum number of buffers to allocate when calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS.
That 'min_reqbufs_allocation' field purpose so use it.

There is no point setting min_reqbufs_allocation to 1: you can't allocate
less than 1 buffer after all.
Does that mean I should just remove this line ?
It is different in that respect from min_buffers_needed: you can call
VIDIOC_STREAMON (and thus start_streaming) without any buffers queued.
This also suggests a better name for min_buffers_needed: min_queued_buffers
So 'min_queued_buffers' buffers have to be queued before start_streaming can
be called.
Ok I will change that in V2

The old min_buffers_needed mixed up the two requirements of the minimum
number of buffers to allocate in REQBUFS and the minimum number of buffers
that need to be queued before you can start streaming. Separating these two
meanings should make things easier to understand.
The only relationship between the two is that min_reqbufs_allocation >
min_queued_buffers, otherwise you would end up in a state where the
driver would just cycle buffers and never be able to return a buffer
to userspace to process.

Hans
