OK, but I don't understand what you mean by limit on pre-queued buffers.

I was saying vb2 queue has min_buffers_needed which was set to 3 where
streaming will start only after 3 buffers got queued up.

Regarding outstanding condition check to make sure no more than 2 syncpt
trigger requests are in FIFO I added it to be safe where mostly we may
not hit and also I only see capture start thread holding for it during
initial frame capture as it issues single shot for 1st 2 buffers capture
and holds 3 buffers which is already queued till at least one of those 2
issued capture is done to make sure of not triggering syncpt condition
when fifo already has 2 pending.

In v7, will remove setting min_buffers_needed and also outstanding
syncpt trigger check.
