How could this ever have worked? Buffers aren't queued to the driver until
STREAMON is called, and calling vb2_buffer_done for a buffer that is not queued
first to the driver will mess up internal data (q->queued_count for one).

Are you testing with CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG set? If not, you should do so. That
will check whether all the vb2 calls are balanced.
BTW, that's a small typo in s5p_mfc_enc.c (search for 'inavlid').

You can also play around with the min_buffers_needed field. My rule-of-thumb is
that
when start_streaming is called everything should be ready to stream. It is
painful
for drivers to have to keep track of the 'do I have enough buffers' status.
For that reason I introduced the min_buffers_needed field. What I believe you
can
do here is to set it initially to a large value, preventing start_streaming from
being called, and once you really know the minimum number of buffers that you
need
it can be updated again to the actual value.
I don't know this driver well enough to tell whether that works here or not, but
it is worth looking at IMHO.
