I did another review. Mainly small stuff, but I realized in my review of 40/56 that
the use of min_buffers_needed is a mess, and you will need to revisit any driver
patches where you change that value, or where you drop the number of buffers check
in queue_setup because you rely on min_buffers_needed.

I think it is likely that we need to take another very good look at this before we
implement VIDIOC_DELETE_BUFS.

I have also posted a PR where I ask Mauro to merge patch 07/56 for 6.7 to get
the vb2_get_num_buffers helper in. We'll see if that will happen since it is a
bit late for that.

Regards,

	Hans
