[PATCH v2 3/3] media: au0828 remove video and vbi buffer timeout work-around

[Shuah Khan]

au0828 does video and vbi buffer timeout handling to prevent
applications such as tvtime from hanging by ensuring that the
video frames continue to be delivered even when the ITU-656
input isn't receiving any data. This work-around is complex
as it introduces set and clear tier code paths in start/stop
streaming, and close interfaces. After the vb2 conversion, the
timeout handling is introducing instability as well as feeding
too many blank green screens, resulting in degraded video quality.
Without this timeout handling, both xawtv, and tvtime are working
well with good quality video.
