From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.pado...@collabora.com>

For explicit synchronization (and soon for HAL3/Request API) we need
the v4l2-driver to guarantee the ordering in which the buffers were queued
by userspace. This is already true for many drivers, but we never needed
to say it.

v2: rename property to 'ordered_in_driver' to avoid confusion
