OK, I will rework the controls to avoid struct v4l2_ctrl_config duplication.

I have done this way because hfi_session_stop must be called only once,
and buffers will be released on first streamoff for both queues.

OK I will return STATE_ERROR for all released buffers.

Yes, thanks for catching this.

yes, that is a good suggestion.
