Constraints
-----------
a) Image size for YUV422P format
All YUV422P images are enforced to have width x height % 16 = 0.
This is due to DMA constraints, which transfers only planes of 8 byte
multiples.
Global video workflow
---------------------
a) QCI stopped
Initially, the QCI interface is stopped.
When a buffer is queued, start_streaming is called and the QCI starts.
b) QCI started
More buffers can be queued while the QCI is started without halting the
capture. The new buffers are "appended" at the tail of the DMA chain, and
smoothly captured one frame after the other.
Once a buffer is filled in the QCI interface, it is marked as "DONE" and
removed from the active buffers list. It can be then requeud or dequeued by
userland application.
Once the last buffer is filled in, the QCI interface stops.
c) Capture global finite state machine schema

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
