Usually, you want to write the "why" in the commit description,
instead of the "what",
which is (hopefully) more or less clear by reading the commit change.

The commit description should have enough information to understand
what is the impact of merging the commit (or what is the bug without
the merging the commit).

If you are fixing a spec violation, adding a reference to the spec is important,
if you are fixing a v4l2-compliance, pasting the error, etc.

IIRC, this is already handled by Videobuf2 core, see the comment for
vb2_start_streaming,
in drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-core.c. There's also a
!q->num_buffers check
in vb2_core_streamon.

In general, if you see some kind of bug in a generic logic like this,
it's a red flag that something is wrong at the core level.

Thanks!
