media: allegro: pass buffers through firmware
As we know which buffers are processed by the codec from the address in the ENCODE_FRAME response, we can queue multiple buffers in the firmware and retrieve the buffer from the response of the firmware. This enables the firmware to use the internal scheduling the codec and avoids round trips through the driver when fetching the next frame. Remove buffers that have been passed to the firmware from the m2m buffer queue and put them into a shadow queue for tracking the buffer in the driver. When we receive a ENCODE_FRAME response from the firmware, get the buffer from the shadow queue and finish the buffer. Furthermore, it is necessary to finish the job straight after passing the buffer to the firmware to allow the V4L2 framework to send further buffers to the driver.
