[PATCH v3 2/4] media: v4l2-common: Add v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned() helper

From: Tommaso Merciai

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 12:16:17 EST


Add v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned(), a variant of v4l2_fill_pixfmt()
that accepts a stride_alignment parameter, mirroring the existing
v4l2_fill_pixfmt_mp() / v4l2_fill_pixfmt_mp_aligned() pair.

v4l2_fill_pixfmt() is refactored to call v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned()
with stride_alignment=1, preserving its existing behaviour.

The new helper is needed by drivers whose DMA engine requires the
line stride to be a multiple of a specific value, such as the
Renesas RZ/G3E CRU which requires 128-byte alignment.

v2->v3:
- No changes, just moved to from PATCH 3/4 to PATCH 2/4

v1->v2:
- Move v4l2_fill_pixfmt() into v4l2-common.h as inline wrapper
- Add v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned() helper documentation.
