  Use one of the struct v4l2_create_buffers reserved bytes to report
the maximum possible number of buffers for the queue.
V4l2 framework set V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_SET_MAX_BUFS flags in queue
capabilities so userland can know when the field is valid.

This breaks git bisect: this function isn't introduced until patch 21/53.

Note: with the build scripts you can just run it with:

./build.sh -patches 53 ...

and it will apply each patch in sequence and attempt to compile it.

It should  be create->index = q->num_buffers;
The error is also in v9...

Sorry, I meant to reply to the v9 patch, so yes, it is also in v9 :-)
