Currently, if streamon/streamoff calls are imbalanced we can end up
with a negative ISI m2m usage_count. When that happens, the next
streamon call will not enable the ISI m2m channel.

So, instead of throwing a warning in streamoff when usage_count drops
below 0, just make sure we don't get there.

WARN() is much too strong to report userspace problems.

This isn't right. Userspace can still call VIDIOC_STREAMOFF while not
streaming, which will decrement the usage count when it shouldn't. The
right fix is to return from mxc_isi_m2m_streamoff() without decrementing
the usage count if the particular context the function is called for is
not streaming. You will possibly need to also modify
mxc_isi_m2m_streamon() to make sure the two functions won't race each
other.

Could you work on an improved patch ? Please let me know if you need
help, it's important to fix this issue.
