Hello Guoniu,

Thank you for the patch.

Have you looked at v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough(), could it be
used instead of a manual implementation ? This could be either direct
usage of v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough(), or with minor
additional customization (first calling the unlocked helper
__v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() and updating the descriptors.
