If there is no queued buffers, the CSI must has been already stoped by
sun6i_video_frame_done. So, the FIFO overflow may only occur on some 
unpredictable conditions or something I don't know.

For sequence number, I can't actually get the number of the lost frames.

Maybe I misunderstood you. Did you mean use IRQ_RETVAL(error) instead
of IRQ_HANDLED?
