I would expect this to be the max of what the hardware can support. If
that's really high, then this can be, say, 4 times the width.

Note that there are very few drivers that can handle a user-specified
stride.

If userspace wants larger buffers, then it should use VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS.

sizeimage is exclusively set by the driver, applications rely on that.

No, but it doesn't hurt to add this one. It comes for free.
