In sure, I put it back(V4L2_BUF_FLAG_INPUT flag), but according to
v3.4-rc7-731-g2b719d7baf49 commit:
"Remove input field in struct v4l2_buffer and flag V4L2_BUF_FLAG_INPUT
which tells the former is valid. The flag is used by no driver
currently."

And I thought that is just useless to keep this flag.
