When a stream line buffer full condition occurs it means that there is a rate mismatch.
It is best to recheck the design. Hence the intention of the code is to notify about this error and stop streaming.

If you want to restart streaming then the correct sequence would be to 
1 - stop stream 
2 - apply video_aresetn
3 - start stream

I will correct my sequence to to stop the stream first and then apply video_aresetn.
But restarting the stream will only mask the design / system issue.
So I think it is better to stop the stream.

Applying the video_aresetn only resets the IP logic and not the registers.

That is right.

This is correct. In the device tree, we mark this as reset-gpio with GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW.
Please refer to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/board.txt power-gpios example.

Agree. I will fix this in next version.
