Is this right? If there are no buffers in the request, then the
list_for_each_entry()
loop won't find a ctx either. This needs to be done differently: for these
initial
v4l2_info() statements you can get the cedrus_dev struct from req->mdev since
the
media_device is embedded in the cedrus_dev struct. In other words, some
container_of magic is needed here.
