I'll just write the comments here since I never received patch 44 in my mailbox.
The messages are sent too quickly and my provider just throws some away if that
happens for a long series like this, very annoying. You can configure git to
slow down sending emails, if you can look into that, then that would be great.
It seems to happen whenever more than approx. 30-35 patches are sent off very
quickly.

In any case, a v14 is needed: when testing with -virtme and the patched v4l2-compliance
it fails the 32 bit test. You need to add max_num_buffers support to
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c.

And since a v14 is needed because of that it would be nice if you can also
make two small changes to patch 44/56:

The commit log still refers to V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_SET_MAX_BUFS (the old
name). And in v4l_print_create_buffers() you log the value as "max buffers",
just make that "max num buffers" for consistency.

Regards,
