I took a new look at this patch.

Clearly this is correct.

When the driver enables the post-processor it decodes a coded format (H264, etc.)
to a native format (NV12_4L4 or P010_4L4) and feeds this into the postprocessor
engine to produce some other format (YUYV, NV12, etc.).

The buffers allocated here should be taken from the native format,
so it's correct to use hantro_get_default_fmt().

The issue comes at this point, where we negotiate the buffer size based on the
source size (OUTPUT queue size), instead of negotiating based
on the Native size.

  Coded -> [ Decoder ] -> Native -> [ Post-processor ] -> Decoded

So, while the patch is surely improving things, I wonder if it won't
cause other issues.

This reminds me we are still lacking a more complete test-suite for this
driver, so that we can validate changes and ensure there are no
regressions.

Perhaps we could hack Fluster to not only test the conformance,
but also test the post-processor?

Thanks,
Ezequiel
