Thanks, I have now re-based my series on top of your 'parm' branch,
and now I have silenced those errors on bad frame interval.

CEU g/s_parm now look like this:

static int ceu_g_parm(struct file *file, void *fh, struct v4l2_streamparm *a)
{
	struct ceu_device *ceudev = video_drvdata(file);
	int ret;

	ret = v4l2_g_parm(V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE,
			  ceudev->sd->v4l2_sd, a);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	a->parm.capture.readbuffers = 0;

	return 0;
}

Very similar to what you've done on other platform drivers in this
commit:
https://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/commit/?h=parm&id=a58956ef45cebaa5ce43a5f740fe04517b24a853

I have a question though (please bear with me a little more :)
I had to manually set a->parm.capture.readbuffers to 0 to silence the following
error in v4l2_compliance (which I have now updated to the most recent
remote HEAD):

 fail: v4l2-test-formats.cpp(1114): cap->readbuffers
                test VIDIOC_G/S_PARM: FAIL

		fail_on_test(cap->readbuffers > VIDEO_MAX_FRAME);
		if (!(node->g_caps() & V4L2_CAP_READWRITE))
			fail_on_test(cap->readbuffers);
		else if (node->g_caps() & V4L2_CAP_STREAMING)
			fail_on_test(!cap->readbuffers);

CEU does not support CAP_READWRITE, as it seems atmel-isc/isi do not, so
v4l2-compliance wants to have readbuffers set to 0. I wonder why in
the previously mentioned commit you didn't have to set readbuffers
explicitly to 0 for atmel-isc/isi as I had to for CEU. Will v4l2-compliance
fail if run on atmel-isc/isi with your commit, or am I missing something?

Thanks
