Actually I agree in principle. Unfortunately I had an email-discussion
last week with the author of the kernel-driver which led nowhere.

It seems like we either have to live with this bug or use the
0_NONBLOCK-flag on ::open and handle a return-value of -EWOULDBLOCK when
the device is busy. This is specific for this driver and (as far as I
can see) not a part of the standard V4L2-API.

I volunteered to create a patch which uses the standard way and return
-EBUSY, but he never answered that part of my mails. Right now I've got
to much other stuff on my hands so I'll let Nicola or someone else try
to fix this with him :)
