Hi there,

Thanks for the patch!

Come to think of it, TRM p. 2111 says for e.g. VICAP_MIPI0_VLW_ID0:
"Virtual line width of even frame for ID0 path(must be aligned to double
word)." which I would interpret as "it must be a multiple of four
bytes". What do you think?

Please add support for the bytesperline field in all the plane_fmt
entries here...

... and here.

Why is this restricted to the MIPI interfaces?
