Hi Sakari,
Thanks for your review.

Ok.
I will send add to v5 series before [1] a patch that fixes this
without introducing the use of v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned() this I think
can be done using:
v4l2_fill_pixfmt(pix, pix->pixelformat, pix->width, pix->height);
+ if (info->has_stride) {
+ pix->bytesperline = ALIGN(pix->bytesperline, RZG2L_CRU_STRIDE_ALIGN);
+ pix->sizeimage = pix->bytesperline * pix->height;
+ }
+
Then I rework this patch into:
media: rzg2l-cru: Use v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned() for stride alignment
That just use the newly added v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned() as you suggest.
