The OMAP3 ISP preview engine will violate the L4 bus protocol if we try
to write some of its internal registers after it failed to stop
properly. This generates an external abort on non-linefetch fault,
triggering a fatal kernel oops.
We can't always prevent preview engine stop failures (they can for
instance be caused by a sensor crash), but we can improve the system
reliability by refusing to start streaming on a pipeline that contains
the preview engine if it failed to stop. The driver will then eventually
reset the ISP (when all applications will have closed their file handles
related to OMAP3 ISP device nodes), making the ISP usable again.
