Re: [PATCH 1/2] media: videobuf2: use dmabuf size for length

[Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>]

Hi Helen & others,

I'm going through a bunch of (very) old patches in my patchwork TODO list
that for one reason or another I never processed. This patch series is one
of them. Given the discussion that followed the post of this series I've
decided not to merge this. I'll mark the series as 'Changes Requested'.

If someone wants to continue work on this (Helen left Collabora), then
please do so!

Regards,

	Hans
