I can understand the tolerance but how does it increase latency.

Could you please mention in commit message why our csi driver requires extra
buffers ? Is it due to a hardware limitation ? Also mention the use-case and
pipeline for which this is helping.

I believe gstreamer has a fail safe flow where it allocates buffer on the fly
in case there is a starvation, ain't that helping ?

I think it is okay to have this here as short term as we have other patches,
but from upstream point of view it looks like a hack so let's document the
reason why we did it here so that it can act as reference.

Also I believe this increases the memory footprint in v4l2 export mode ?
For already memory constrained platforms such as am62xSIP this may have a
negative impact. I see some vendors putting in extra env variables to let user
modify the buffering part.
