Fixed in V2.

I will be dropping this part in V2.

32.1.1.1 Features of VSPI [R-Car H3/R-Car H3-N/R-Car M3-W/R-Car 
M3-W+/R-Car M3-N/R-Car E3]
point Video processing and point Performance of VSPI
indicates R-Car E3 has similar limitation due to VSP bandwidth.

Currently, this seems to be up to user to avoid the higher resolution 
operation on hardware which has lower VSP bandwidth.
