I'm a bit concerned that this would introduce future breakages. Setting the
queue.lock pointer enables locking in all vb2_fop_* and vb2_ops_wait_*
functions. The uvcvideo driver isn't ready for that, but doesn't use the
vb2_fop_* functions yet, so that's not an issue. However, in the future,
videobuf2 might use the lock in more places, including functions used by the
uvcvideo driver. This could then cause breakages.

It would be better to completely convert the uvcvideo driver to the vb2_fop_*
functions if we want to use vb2_ops_*. I'm not sure how complex that would be
though, and whether it would be possible while still keeping the fine-grained
locking implemented by the uvcvideo driver. Do you think it should be
attempted ?
