Would it make sense to add a validate_streamon op to vb2? For devices like
this that need to validate the pipeline it makes sense that the validation
happens on VIDIOC_STREAMON. The actual DMA engine start stays with the
start_streaming op.
It would be easy to add to vb2.

Good point. But perhaps it is a good idea to add a comment why VB2_READ/WRITE
isn't supported, if only to prevent me from asking this again in the future :-)

I'll take this patch. It's still useful, but not for this driver.
