Good catch !

The patch looks good to me, but I wonder if we shouldn't write the subject 
line as "v4l: vsp1: Fix header display list status check in continuous mode". 
Sure, we're fixing continuous mode for dual pipelines, but that's more of a 
side effect, it's header display lists that are broken as a whole in 
continuous mode, even if we only use that for dual pipelines right now.

Apart from that,
