The V4L2-FLAG-MEMORY-NON-CONSISTENT flag is entirely unused,
Could you explain what makes you think it's unused? It's a feature of
the UAPI generally supported by the videobuf2 framework and relied on
by Chromium OS to get any kind of reasonable performance when
accessing V4L2 buffers in the userspace.
Because it doesn't do anything except on PARISC and non-coherent MIPS,
so by definition it isn't used by any of these media drivers.
