[PATCH v3 0/2] media: nxp: imx8-isi: Fix single frame capture and optimize buffer usage
From: Guoniu Zhou
Date: Fri Mar 20 2026 - 02:40:44 EST
This series fixes a hang issue when capturing single frames and improves
buffer utilization by prioritizing user buffers over discard buffers.
Patch 1 reduces min_queued_buffers to allow streaming to start without any
queued buffers.
Patch 2 changes the buffer selection logic to use pending user buffers first,
minimizing unnecessary frame drops at stream start.
