media: bcm2835-codec: Limit video callbacks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Limit the number of allowed video callbacks. This helps with limiting
the size of the coded input FIFO which in turn helps to control latency.
Choose -5 as the magic number as it translates to DPB+5 buffers which
has been proven to be a good number in the past.

Ideally coded buffers would not be returned to the user until they
had been decoded into the DPB or been discarded as bad, but that grade
of control is unavailable to us.
