Dear zheng,

For stop streaming, what I mean is that stoppping jpeg decoding or
encoding.
Ok, let me introduce the sw flow of stop streaming:
Firstly, the app will call v4l2_m2m_ioctl_streamoff, which will call
v4l2_m2m_cancel_job, if it finds a job running(as you note, cpu1 is
running), it will wait event, the event is wake up by
v4l2_m2m_job_finish function. And v4l2_m2m_job_finish is called by jpeg
dec/enc irq handler, which means that the waitting would result mtk hw
to finish dec/enc, irq will occur and irq handler would cancel timeout
worker. The follow is shown as blow.
v4l2_m2m_ioctl_streamoff
   v4l2_m2m_cancel_job                mtk_jpeg_enc_irq/mtk_jpeg_dec_irq
       wait evnet <------ wake up ------v4l2_m2m_job_finish
		                        cancel timeout work
	 
As mentioned above, if it is normal stop streaming action, there will
be no happen that the timeout worker does not canceled.

But if mtk_jpeg_remove is called directly without above flow, it would
cause lots of issues.

Regards,
Kyrie.
