Hi Jacopo,

Thank you for the patch.

Depending on what we decide to name the control (see review of 2/5), you
should adjust the description accordingly.

I don't think the control should have a min and a max different than the
current value, as it's a fully static control. I'd drop those two lines
here, and drivers will have to set value = min = max = V4L2_LOCATION_xxx
when creating the control. That why you should be able to collapse this
with V4L2_CID_MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_OUTPUT.

Why not just 0 and 1 ?
