[RESEND PATCH] [media] s5p-mfc: don't close instance after free OUTPUT buffers

[javier@osg.samsung.com (Javier Martinez Canillas)]

From: ayaka <ayaka@soulik.info>

User-space applications can use the VIDIOC_REQBUFS ioctl to determine if a
memory mapped, user pointer or DMABUF based I/O is supported by the driver.

So a set of VIDIOC_REQBUFS ioctl calls will be made with count 0 and then
the real VIDIOC_REQBUFS call with count == n. But for count 0, the driver
not only frees the buffer but also closes the MFC instance and s5p_mfc_ctx
state is set to MFCINST_FREE.

The VIDIOC_REQBUFS handler for the output device checks if the s5p_mfc_ctx
state is set to MFCINST_INIT (which happens on an VIDIOC_S_FMT) and fails
otherwise. So after a VIDIOC_REQBUFS(n), future VIDIOC_REQBUFS(n) calls
will fails unless a VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl calls happens before the reqbufs.

But applications may first set the format and then attempt to determine
the I/O methods supported by the driver (for example Gstramer does it) so
the state won't be set to MFCINST_INIT again and VIDIOC_REQBUFS will fail.

To avoid this issue, only free the buffers on VIDIOC_REQBUFS(0) but don't
close the MFC instance to allow future VIDIOC_REQBUFS(n) calls to succeed.

Hello,

This is a resend of a patch posted by Ayaka some time ago [0].
Without $SUBJECT, trying to decode a video using Gstramer fails
on an Exynos5422 Odroid XU4 board with following error message:
