These fails are because VIDIOC_G_CTRL and VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS return
V4L2_CID_MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_CAPTURE only when dirver in MTK_STATE_HEADER
state, or it will return EAGAIN.
This could help user space get correct value, not default value that may
changed base on media content.

Driver do not support subscribe event for control 'User Controls' for
now.
Do we need to support this?

This is because vidioc_vdec_g_fmt only succeed when context is in
MTK_STATE_HEADER state, or user space cannot get correct format data
using this function.

Our OUTPUT and CAPTURE queue support both VB2_DMABUF and VB2_MMAP, user
space can select which to use in runtime.
So our driver default support v4l2_m2m_ioctl_expbuf functionality.
In v4l2-compliance test, it will check v4l2_m2m_ioctl_expbuf only valid
when node->valid_memorytype is V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP.
So when go through node->valid_memorytype is V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF, it
fail.


best regards,
Tiffany
