One high-level comment:

Can you add a TODO file for this staging driver? This can be done in
a follow-up patch.

It should contain what needs to be done to get this out of staging:

- Request API needs to stabilize
- Userspace support for stateless codecs must be created
- Ideally one other stateless decoder driver and at least one
stateless encoder driver should be implemented to ensure that nothing
was forgotten in the Request API.
- Anything else?

And a few last code comments:

I would return ENOENT if there are no buffers, and EINVAL if there are too
many. Returning ENOENT in the latter case would be very confusing.

I also highly recommend that you add v4l2_info lines for these errors.

Should be v4l2_info: it is not a driver error, it is just an info message.

Ditto.

Not worth making a v10, but you can do this in a follow-up patch.

Once I have the two follow-up patches I'll make a pull request.

Regards,
