[PATCH v2 0/4] media: uvcvideo: Prepare deprecation of nodrop

From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Wed Dec 18 2024 - 16:40:37 EST


We intend to deprecate the nodrop parameter in the future and adopt the
default behaviour of the other media drivers: return buffers with an error
to userspace with V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR set in v4l2_buffer.flags.

Make the first step in the deprecation by changing the default value of
the parameter and printing an error message when the value is changed.

While implementing this change, Hans found an error in
uvc_queue_buffer_complete(). This series also fix it.
