[PATCH 2/2] [media] vb2: Add support for capture_dma_bidirectional queue flag

[Thierry Escande]

From: Pawel Osciak <posciak@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

When this flag is set for CAPTURE queues by the driver on calling
vb2_queue_init(), it forces the buffers on the queue to be
allocated/mapped with DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL direction flag, instead of
DMA_FROM_DEVICE. This allows the device not only to write to the
buffers, but also read out from them. This may be useful e.g. for codec
hardware, which may be using CAPTURE buffers as reference to decode
other buffers.

This flag is ignored for OUTPUT queues, as we don't want to allow HW to
be able to write to OUTPUT buffers.
