I'm sorry, I realize I was quite confusing here. I should have said:

"This comment should be copied to where the quirk is set in v4l2. This comment here
in core.c shouldn't refer to vb1 at all. How about:"

So in both places (here and in v4l2.c) there should be a comment.

Can you make a v4? Ask on irc if something is still unclear.
