Indeed, the code doesn't make sense. I have to say I don't know what was 
the intent here, but I think "at least 3 buffers should be allocated by 
REQBUFS" is the likely explanation.

I think the hardware should work with even just a single buffer, so is 
it then fine to not set either q->min_queued_buffers nor 
q->min_reqbufs_allocation before calling vb2_queue_init()? This seems to 
result in REQBUFS giving at least two buffers.
