21b01acef1 v4l2src: Maintain downstream caps order
The g_list_insert_sorted() will behave like prepend when the compare
function returns 0. In our case, we want to maintain the order hence
append. This fixes this issue and improve the sorting algorithm to make
a 10x10 prefered over 10x200 with a preference of 10x8 (and similar
cases which was badly handled). This fixes generally fixes issue were a
sub-optimal format / size is picked.

e575e4eda8 v4l2object: Use a debug object for tracing
This way we can pass the pad name instead of the element for tracing
which helps identifying which v4l2object is used withing M2M element
like decoder, encoder and transform. For the reference, pads are name
<parent-name>:<pad-name>.

a08d7cdef5 v4l2src: Ensure all caps a fixated
The code relied on the list compare function to fixate the caps
but if the caps only has one structure, the compare function will
never get called. Capture device for which there is only one
structure in the caps would then get some assertion and later
fail badly.

Instead, fixate before inserting into the list and split the reading
and the fixation of the structures.

05a5ab0e55 v4l2src: Check if caps have changed after try_fmt
try_fmt will update the caps colorimetry and interlace-mode. Before this
call, those field are missing. The caps equality check was always
failing when a spurious reconfigure event was received.

31d8a1d929 v4l2: Add run-time environment to enable libv4l2
The library has started preventing a lot of interesting use cases,
like CREATE_BUFS, DMABuf, usage of TRY_FMT. As the libv4l2 is totally
inactive and not maintained, we decided to disable it. As a convenience
we added a run-time environment that let you enable it for testing.

  GST_V4L2_USE_LIBV4L2=1

This of course only works if you have enabled libv4l2 at build time.

b3e089d415 v4l2src: Speedup camera startup by skipping try_fmt
In this commit, we enabled skip_try_fmt_probes quirk in order to speed
up the start which is known to be disastrously slow with certain USB
cameras.

This has the side effect that we needed to rewrite the entire
negotiation process in a way that we iterate over the possible caps
until we find one that works.

The new negotiation method consist of extracting a preferred structure
from the peer caps and using this to fixate and sort the caps. To
reflect the old behaviour, we sort all resolution strictly bigger
to the preferred one with the closes one first. The rest is appended,
keeping the same order. We then normalize the caps in case there was
some list of interlace-mode or colorimetry left. We finally iterate
over all fixed caps and try it. 99% of the time, the first or the
second one should work, whit the result of a single S_FMT being issues.

From there, it will be relatively easy to introduce new negotiation
algorithm. The current algorithm is made for optimal image quality
with a scaling sink that sets it's window resolution as preference.
This the case if for:

  v4l2src ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! ximagesink

Other strategy would be needed to optimize for non-scaling sink like
ximagesink or kmssink when the driver does not scale.

eb25b058f9 v4l2: Remove usage and definition of LOG_CAPS macro
Unlike former definitions of LOG_CAPS, the current implementation simply
expands to GST_DEBUG_OBJECT. The LOG_CAPS macro is rarely used and most
uses duplicate already existing GST_DEBUG_OBJECT lines. Therefore, the
caps are often printed twice which unnecessarily clutters the debug log.

Replace LOG_CAPS calls with GST_DEBUG_OBJECT, remove LOG_CAPS calls, and
delete the definition of LOG_CAPS.

ec169a1517 v4l2src: Avoid decide allocation on active pool
v4l2src will renegotiate only if the format have changed. As of now,
it's not possible to change the allocationw without resetting the
camera. To avoid unwanted side effect, simply keep the old allocation
if no renegotiation is taking place. This fixes assertion and possible
failures in USERPTR or DMABUF import mode (when using downstream pools).

b9992e4347 v4l2: Handle corrupted buffer with empty payload
This allow skipping buffer flagged with ERROR that has no payload.
This is typical behaviour when a recovererable error occured during
capture in the driver, but that no valid data was ever written into that
buffer. This patch also translate V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR into
GST_BUFFER_FLAG_CORRUPTED. Hence decoding error produce
by decoder due to missing frames will now be correctly marked. Finally,
this fixes a buffer leak when EOS is reached.

02040d507c v4l2: Clean up interlace support
Rather than try and guess interlace support as part of checking supported
sizes, look for interlace support specifically in its own function.

As a cleanup, use V4L2_FIELD_ANY when probing sizes, which should result in
the driver doing the right thing.

With my capture setup, this gets me the following sample caps:

For 1080i resolution:
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string)interleaved, framerate=(fraction){ 25/1, 30/1 }

For 720p resolution:
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string)progressive, framerate=(fraction){ 50/1, 60/1 }

For 576i/p resolution (both possible at the point of query):
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)720, height=(int)576, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string){ progressive, interleaved }, framerate=(fraction){ 25/1, 50/1 }

This, in turn, makes 576i work correctly; with the old code,
the caps would be interlace-mode=progressive for interlaced video.

Return a buffer from an otherpool has unwanted side effects that lead to leaks and

8e43c0ec9e v4l2: Optimize negotiation by removing the query filter
As cameras tend to have a quite specific set of capabilities (specific
framerates for each resolution), getting the peer caps filtered by our
probed caps can cause a big increase in the caps size which slows down
things quire a bit.

As for negotiation v4l2 iterates through the caps of the peer to find the
first intersection with the probed caps, getting the fully expanded
intersection of capabilities is not useful.

Using the same testcase as for bug #702632, adding this patch on top of
the patches suggested there speeds up getting the inital frame from
around ~14-15 seconds to around ~3-4 seconds.

This makes sure that we always have a buffer to capture into. We also need to
