there are two proper ways to setup capture queue.
1. client wait the source change event,
   then setup the capture queue and streamon
2. client setup the capture queue in advance,
   but to avoid time issues, client should start
   the capture queue before it enqueue the sequence
   header to decoder driver through output queue.
   and the sequence header is always in the first
   frame, so client should start capture before
   enqueue the first frame.

ffmpeg use the method 2 to setup capture queue,
but currently ffmpeg enqueue the first frame
before starting the capture queue.
so in driver side, there are time issues.
when driver has parsed the resolution from sequence header,
but the client may not finished setup the capture.
so driver can't decide whether to notify a source change event to
client. and the following flow may be chaotic.

And it's OK that client setup capture queue first, then enqueue the
first frame.

Unfortunately this does not work on odroid xu4.
It needs to parse the parameter sets before VIDIOC_G_FMT ioctl is called on the
capture queue:
