Ack! I think this does what is expected for the single planar formats
the CRU supports!

I think after this cycle you could send a patch to replace the above
back-portable change with the usage of v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned().

When you do so, could you consider, replacing "has_stride" with a per
struct rzg2l_cru_info .stride field ?

I think it would look nicer as you could here unconditionally align
(assuming the new .stride will be set to 1 for G2L which currently has
.has_stride = 0).

Also, RZG2L_CRU_STRIDE_ALIGN is a bit of a mis-nomer, as only G3E and
V2H has a AMnIS register and alignments constraints as far as I see.

The only other user of 'has_stride' I see is:

 rzg2l_cru_initialize_axi()

	if (info->has_stride) {
		u32 stride = cru->format.bytesperline;
		u32 amnis;

		stride /= RZG2L_CRU_STRIDE_ALIGN;
		amnis = rzg2l_cru_read(cru, AMnIS) & ~AMnIS_IS_MASK;
		rzg2l_cru_write(cru, AMnIS, amnis | AMnIS_IS(stride));
	}

the G2L has no register AMnIS, so we can't write it unconditionally
but rather replace the check with:

        if (info->stride > 1)

As a bonus, if any other variant will get a different stride, it will
be automatically supported.

What do you think ?

In the meantime for this patch
