Why do you need this? Are the buffer addresses also passed to the fw?

Remember that buffer memory is only allocated when using V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP.
In the DMABUF case it just allocates vb2_buffer structs, not the actual
buffer memory. So a buffer can be dequeued and the corresponding dmabuf
closed (so the memory is freed) by the application.

In other words, vb2_get_num_buffers() reports the number of allocated
vb2_buffer structs, but not the actual number of buffers in memory, that
might be different in the DMABUF case.

What exactly is the firmware using this number for? What does it expect
it contains?
