Qualcomm downstream camera driver use the rup to move the req to a list 
to maintenance a state machine. If we don't get rup then we will enter 
bubble state.
But we are downplaying this process now due to AUP, and the bubble 
processing has been disabled in latest code base, since we think the 
buffer must be filled to the given address if we have configured the AUP 
and got buf done irq.


And this per frame wait_for_completion flow isn't exist in whole camss 
code, and current camss driver just use buf done irq to trigger the per 
frame flow.

E.g.,
irqreturn_t vfe_irq()
{
	if (rup_irq)
		reg_update_clear();

	if (buf_done_irq) {
		vfe_wm_update();
		reg_update();    --> We can't do wait_for_completion at here in irq 
context
		vb2_buffer_done();
	}
}

Just VFE gen1 driver use this wait_for_complete in vfe_disable_output, 
and this flow has been removed in vfe gen2(camss-vfe.c), so looks like
we don't need to add this wait_for_completion support and also can 
remove below code in camss-vfe-480.c

vfe_isr_reg_update()
{
	if (output->wait_reg_update) {
		output->wait_reg_update = 0;
		complete(&output->reg_update);
	}
}

Thanks,
