yes, hfi_session_stop will instruct the firmware to stop using provided
buffers and return ownership to the host driver by fill_buf_done and
empty_buf_done callbacks.

this is what I tried to implement with above
!vb2_is_streaming(other_queue) thing.

OK I will enable it to be sure that warnings are missing.
