Note that I used level 5.1 based on a commit from you:
"""
    media: cedrus: h264: Fix 4K decoding on H6
    
    Due to unknown reason, H6 needs larger intraprediction buffer for 4K
    videos than other SoCs. This was discovered by playing 4096x2304 video,
    which is maximum what H6 VPU is supposed to support.
"""

I guessed this meant it supported level 5 or higher.
(Now that I think about it, I meant at least H6, does).

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Coding#Levels,
level 4.2 is up to 2,048×1,080@60.0.

Frankly, I'm open to put whatever value makes you happy.
  
Thanks,
