Agreed that proper fix should be in driver.  But there are still kernels in use
with the older buggy driver versions.

These omap24xxvout patch is for support of legacy/deprecated driver
(pre-dss2).. because there are still older kernels floating around.  In the
case of the omap_vout driver, I believe the issue has been fixed in current
versions of the driver, although there is not yet a good way to differentiate
from userspace between older buggy version of driver and newer.  (I had
proposed to display driver team to give the newer driver a different name to
differentiate from userspace.)

So these patches are mainly so that v4l2sink just works out of the box, even if
you are using it with an old kernel.  If that is not a concern, then the
patches aren't needed.  Although the patches are relatively localized so it
seemed like a small price to pay for wider interoperability.
