Hmm. This flag is set for both VIDIOC_REQBUFS and _CREATE_BUFS, but the
max_num_buffers field is only reported through VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS.
I think this flag should be set in vb2_create_bufs() only.
Alternatively, we add a max_num_buffers field to struct v4l2_requestbuffers
as well:
struct v4l2_requestbuffers {
__u32 count;
__u32 type; /* enum v4l2_buf_type */
__u32 memory; /* enum v4l2_memory */
__u32 capabilities;
__u8 flags;
__u8 reserved[1];
__u16 max_num_buffers;
};
Since 32768 is the max for max_num_buffers, this will fit in a u16.
I'm not sure it is worth the effort, though. How likely is it that there
is a driver supporting more than 32 buffers, yet does not support CREATE_BUFS?
So for now, I think it is best to just set this BUF_CAP flag in vb2_create_bufs()
only. But if you have better suggestions, then let me know!

Hans
