Can you make a patch for vb2_request_has_buffers() in videobuf2-core.c
renaming it to vb2_request_buffer_cnt() and returning the number of buffers
in the request?

Then you can call it here to check that you have only one buffer.

And this has to be documented with the PIXFMT.

Multiple buffers are certainly possible in non-codec scenarios (vim2m and
vivid happily accept that), so this is an exception that should be
documented and checked in the codec driver.

It is tested, but only with the -s option. I'll see if I can improve the
tests.
