Description Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2014-07-08 17:11:35 UTC 
This flag clarify which clock is to be used. When this flag is set, we don't need to try the wall clock fallback.
Comment 1 Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2015-06-10 02:10:40 UTC 
I've looked into this. It isn't trivial since the buffer pool abstraction hides a bit too much of the v4l2_buffer structure and it's flags. I think it would be worth making that layer thinner at some point.

Though, for this case, the code is also a good fallback in case the driver is broken. So skipping a test that would workaround clear driver bugs seems rather wanted.
