[PATCH 3/3] media: verisilicon: leave room for the JPEG header and one stream burst

From: Sergei Khomenkov <shomenkow@xxxxxxxxx>

hantro_try_fmt() keeps any non-zero sizeimage on the JPEG encoder's
CAPTURE queue, however small, and hantro_buf_prepare() then accepts a
plane of that size. hantro_jpeg_header_assemble() writes the 624-byte
header into the plane with the CPU before the hardware starts, and a
plane smaller than the header also makes the WARN_ON() in
hantro_h1_jpeg_enc_set_buffers() and
rockchip_vpu2_jpeg_enc_set_buffers() fire on every job, which userspace
can trigger at will. After the header the encoder writes its stream in
bursts, one of them even when the stream limit is 0; on the RK3026
VEPU1 a burst is 64 bytes. A plane smaller than the header plus 64 bytes
is therefore written past its end.

Raise a smaller request to header_size + 64, so that every plane the
driver accepts holds the header and at least one such burst.

Found with an LLM coding assistant while porting mainline Linux to a
Rockchip RK3026 board (VEPU1); the assistant also drafted the code and
this message. Tested on that board: a 640x480 CAPTURE format set with
sizeimage 1, 600, 656 and 689 reads back 688, 688, 688 and 689, a
656-byte DMABUF plane is then refused with EINVAL, and frames that do
not fit a 688-byte plane stop exactly at its end and come back with the
ERROR flag. A request of 600, now raised to 688, encodes with no
warning; before this change it was kept, and the encode hit the
WARN_ON() at hantro_h1_jpeg_enc.c:50 (hantro_h1_jpeg_enc_set_buffers(),
reported in hantro_h1_jpeg_enc_run()). Also before it, with 32 and 8
bytes after the header (a stream limit of 0), the encoder wrote one
burst, 32 and 56 bytes past the plane. The burst size is measured there
only; not tested on other SoCs.
