Fix the choice of min/max, don't override the min/max with own pool selected
size, correct other_pool is_active check, start from other_pool config when
configuring the other pool and finally validate the configuration.
M2M devices were sharing the same properties as src and sink. Most of
these made no sense. This patch reduces the number of propeties and
makes io-mode clearer by having capture-io-mode and output-io-mode. This
also accidently fixed a bug in gstv4l2transform io-mode code, where the
capture io-mode could not be set.

When extrapolating the offset, we need to use the extrapolate
stride rather then the base stride. This should fix support for format
with more then two planes (I420, Y42B, etc).
Simplify framerate field if possible, so we don't end up with
e.g. framerate = (fraction) { 30/1 }. Maybe the helper function
should be moved to core, but we can do this later.
This moves away from copying information and store everything inside
the GstVideoInfo structure. The alignement exposed by v4l2 api
is now handled using proper offset.
Improve decide allocation so it properly configure both local and downstream
buffer pools. Also read back the pool config if it was changed to to driver
limitations.
Catch short allocation after saving the format. This is not a catch all, but should catch
most of the miss-behaving drivers when doing S_FMT/G_FMT and avoid potential crash.
Some well known decoder wrongly set num_planes to 0 in their format instead of
one. In this case we would endup with no size when deciding buffer allocation.
In order to correctly set the pool min/max, we need to probe for CREATE_BUFS
ioctl. This can be done as soon as the format has been negotiated using a
count of 0.
As soon a the alpha component can be set, we can expose the RGB32 and BGR32
format as ARGB and BGRA as long we can deterministically set the alpha padding
value.
In certain cases we cannot live without video meta and/or crop meta
being enabled in our internal buffer pool. Ensure this is always the case,
regardless of having support for allocation query.
The complex mechanic to try and choose the right thing did not work. Instead,
simply probe the non-contiguous format first and then the contiguous one.
This is in fact very low overhead, as there is a relatively small number of
pixel format supported by each devices.
Certain decoder has been found to not choose a format automatically. Running
v4l2videodec on these would assert. This patch will make it fail cleanly
instead.
For format like mpegts, width and height is rarely in the negotiated caps. This
patch fixes failure when setting format, and prevent introducing width, height,
framerate and format to the caps when fixating.

It seems that GStreamer's mpegts elements (tsdemux, tsparse) require caps
`video/mpegts,systemstream=true`. As far as I can see the significance
of systemstream is to indicate that this is a container format rather than
an elementary stream. As this is the case (and I can't understand how it
could not be the case with mpegts) I add systemstream=true to v4l2src's
caps.
This allows v4l2src to be linked with tsdemux for playback from my
Hauppauge HD-PVR with the pipeline:
v4l2src ! queue ! tsdemux ! video/x-h264 ! decodebin ! xvimagesink
In combination with the next commit this fixes using Hauppauge HD-PVR with
GStreamer 1.0+.
With years the amount of ifdef have grown up and we are not even sure if the
old code path compiles. Each time we need to update the v4l2 framework to add
the new feature, we break compilation on older kernel. With exception of two
controls in the video orientation control, this patch get rid of all ifdef by
including the latest version of videodev2.h inside GStreamer.

Don't enforce having width, height and framerate in template caps for encoded
formats. These don't always need to be exposed and may break negotiation for
decoder and decoding sink. If needed, these field will be automatically added
when probed caps are known.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720568
If there is nothing that seems to force a certain framerate on output device, it is
preferable to simply not set that feild. This allow negotiation with tsdemux in a
decoder for example.

Also add a FIXME in gst_v4l2_object_setup_format

This method allow setting up the object from the currently configured format on the
device. This is useful for M2M element where input data decides the format that will
be set on capture side.

The number of plane, and the stride does not represent a capability change. Same caps
can have different stride from the default GstVideoInfo and the number of planes will
never change for 1 format.

It makes the gst_v4l2_object_set_format() slightly simplier and will make that
logic reusable. Note that gst_v4l2_object_has_mplane() will always return the
same value for one device. There is no need to check against the caps as this
has already been done by _open.

We set the dimensions just in case but don't validate them

This api is in linux kernel since version 2.6.39,
and present in all version 3.
The commit that adds the API in master branch of the
linux kernel source is:
f8f3914cf9
v4l2 doc: "Some devices require data for each input
or output video frame to be placed in discontiguous
memory buffers"
There are newer structures 'struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane'
and 'struct v4l2_plane'.
So the pixel format is not setup with the same API when using
multi-planar.
Also for gst-v4l2, one of the difference is that in GstV4l2Meta
there are now one mem pointer for each maped plane.
When not using multi-planar, this commit takes care of keeping
the same code path than previously. So that the 2 cases are
in two different blocks triggered from V4L2_TYPE_IS_MULTIPLANAR.

Instead of just assuming a aspect ratio of 1/1 use VIDIOC_CROPCAP to ask
the device.
This also add a pixel-aspect-ratio property to overwrite the value from the
driver and a force-aspect-ratio property to ignore it.

This makes it possible to set any controls that can be set with
VIDIOC_S_CTRL.
The controls are set when the property is set (if the device is open)
and when the device is opened.

This can happen if other parts of the pipeline are reconfigured.
Stop streaming even for a short amount of time can be quite visible, so it

In the past gst_video_info_from_caps() only video/x-raw. Now it also
supports other video/* and image/* formats.
With this patch the format won't be GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKOWN and
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_set_config() handles strides correctly.

The existence of a GstVideoFormatInfo does not guarantee, that
the buffer contains video frames, so the format must be checked.
Also, for encoded buffers the length is variable and must be set.

If TRY_FMT is not implemented, gst_v4l2_object_get_nearest_size will
use S_FMT and will change the device's operation mode. To save the

This is not enough to properly support H264 cameras, but it will

settings of the camera. If used with the pre-set-format signal, the
H264 encoder can be fully configured.

We don't currently support setting the pixel-aspect-ratio from V4L2. So
simply set it to be 1/1 in the caps to prevent negotiation failures when
fixating to weird values (e.g. when the downstream caps has
pixel-aspect-ratio = [ MIN, MAX ] )

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.
