No, it is not a bug fix. The old code worked fine since the timestamp was copied
*after* fill_vb2_buffer was called. Now it is reversed and you need this check
to avoid zeroing a copied timestamp.
When I referred to the v4l2-compliance failures I meant failures I got testing
with an early version of the request API that didn't have this modified
timestamp
handling code.
