In order to support UVC H264 encoding cameras, an H264 Probe&Commit
must happen before the normal v4l2 set-format. This new signal is
meant to allow an external application or bin to do it.
It also serves to expose the file descriptor used by v4l2src in case
some custom ioctls need to be called.

When nobody is using our pool, activate it ourselves.
Avoid leaking the buffer array.
Set default pool configuration with caps.
Don't keep current_caps, core does that for us now.
Use the more specialized type for the bufferpool.
Use the size from the driver as the size of the image to read.
Don't configure the pool when created. This will be done in the setup_allocation
method later or by upstream for sinks.
Remove unused properties and variables. Bufferpool sizes are now configured in
the bufferpool by the elements in the pipeline. We might want to influence the
pool size later somehow.
Add different transport methods to the bufferpool (MMAP and READ/WRITE)
Do more parsing of the bufferpool config.
Start and stop streaming based on the bufferpool state.
Make separate methods for getting a buffer from the pool and filling it with
data. This allows us to fill buffers from other pools too. Either use copy or
read to fill up the target buffers.
Add property to force a transfer mode in v4l2src.
Increase default number of buffers to 4.
Negotiate bufferpool and its properties in v4l2src.
Move the details of how to capture to the device object. Remove the
v4l2src_calls.[ch] files because they are empty now.
Provide two simple methods to get and return a buffer to the device.
Also do a slow copy when the buffer is not from our pool.
Rename start and stop methods to open and close because that is what they do.
After setting the format on the device object, setup the bufferpools. Move this
code from the v4l2src_calls.c file, it is shared between source and sink.
Make new device start and stop method that merges various bits of common code
spread over several files.
Move the configuration of the framerate to where we set the other format
parameters.
Remove hack to check if the device is active.
Store streamparm in the device info.
Use some macros to access the current device configuration.
Remove some duplicate fields in src and sink and use the device configuration
instead.
Pass the caps to the set_format function and make _set_format parse the caps.
Also keep the parsed values in the v4l2object so that we can refer to them when
we want.
Various cleanups, avoids useless casts, move error handling outside of the main
code flow.
Negotiate to a resonable resolution instead of the max resolution.
Looks like this got enabled by accident when adding it to v4l2sink,
so undo this for now. Not sure it makes much sense in a GStreamer
context with current hardware.
MPEG doesn't have a static size per frame, so don't pretend it has one
and fail when capturing because it doesn't match. Instead mark the size
as unknown and let the read frame grabbing method use a reasonable fallback
value (assuming that's only for actual streaming formats)
Fixes bug #628349.
Fixes#621723 (partially)
set_caps can fail if the video device is running, in that case
setting its format leads to EBUSY.
If set_caps fails then we will not have set up the buffer pool
(it will be NULL) which leads to a crash when we try to pull
buffers. If we fail the negotiate on set_caps failure, then we
won't go to playing state and won't crash.
This is a small improvement. Of course, a nicer fix would
be to make set_caps work in the case where the format is
unchanged. If the format has changed, failing is
probably correct because we need to close the device
(go to NULL state) in order to set caps.
Don't leak a string everytime get_uri() is called and a device
has been set. There's a limited number of devices, so just
intern the string instead of doing more elaborate housekeeping
and storing it in the instance struct or so.
For cameras/drivers that don't support e.g. VIDIOC_G_PARM we'd end up without
a framerate and would try to divide by 0, causing run-time warnings and all
frames to be timestamped with 0, which makes sinks that sync against the clock
drop them, causing 'hangs' (observed with the pwc driver and a Logitech QuickCam
Pro 4000). So if we do not know the framerate, simply don't adjust the
timestamps. Fixes#591451.
Clear format list and probed caps when going to NULL so if a new device
is set we'll probe the formats again instead of using previously
detected ones. Fixes bug #591747.
This also does the following changes:
(1) pull the bufferpool code out into gstv4l2bufferpool.c, and make a
bit more generic so it can be used both for v4l2src and v4l2sink
(2) move some of the device probing/configuration/caps stuff into
gstv4l2object.c so it does not have to be duplicated between
v4l2src and v4l2sink
Fixes bug #590280.
The v4l2 driver for USB webcams on OpenSolaris does not support select()
calls. Detect when select() fails, and skip polling the device afterward,
which restores the pre 0.10.14 behaviour on OpenSolaris.

Use GstPoll to wait for the fd of the video device to become readable before
trying to capture a frame. This speeds up stopping v4l2src a lot as it no
longer has to wait for the next frame, especially when capturing with low
framerates or when the video device just never generates a frame (which seems a
common issue for uvcvideo devices)
Fixes bug #563574.

Original commit message from CVS:
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c:
* sys/v4l2/v4l2src_calls.c:
When probing the formats and sizes a camera supports, make
sure the best ones (highest resolution, prefered format)
end up at the beginning of the probed caps and the less
desirable ones at the end. This is important because the
order within the caps matters for things like fixation and
negotiation, ie. what format is chosen in the end.
With recent kernels, the current probing code will end up
querying the supported sizes from lowest resolution to
highest resolution, adding them to the probed caps in that
order, resulting to v4l2src fixating to the lowest possible
resolution if downstream does not express a size preference.
Also make up a somewhat random ranking of prefered output
formats for the same reason. Fixes#485828.
