Ok, I already updated this in my wip branch for next version.

yes, sorry about that, I saw this later and I already updated it for next version.

Make sense, this would make sense more clear. I'll update for next version.

Make sense, I thought we could use the length of the plane to other validations,
but we don't need it. I'll preserve bytesused instead.

According to https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/patch/20190319145243.25047-4-boris.brezillon@collabora.com/
This avoids y2038 issue.
