Dear All,
While testing ov5645 + RZ/G3E we found out that the UYVY8_2X8/2592x1944
is broken. The issue is that the CRU DMA engine requires the line stride
to be a multiple of 128 bytes (RZG2L_CRU_STRIDE_ALIGN). v4l2_fill_pixfmt()
sets bytesperline as width * bytes_per_pixel with no alignment, so for
widths whose natural stride is not 128-byte aligned the hardware silently
rounds up, causing a mismatch that produces visible horizontal banding in
the captured image.
Tested using:
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 '"ov5645 0-003c":0[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/2592x1944 field:none]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 '"csi-16000400.csi2":0[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/2592x1944]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 '"cru-ip-16000000.video":0[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/2592x1944]'
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --verbose --set-fmt-video=width=2592,height=1944,pixelformat=UYVY --stream-mmap --stream-count=100 --stream-to=./frame.raw
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 blocksize=76800 io-mode=dmabuf num-buffers=200 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY,width=2592,height=1944 ! videoconvert ! queue ! waylandsink sync=false
This patch fix the issue.

Add v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned(), a variant of v4l2_fill_pixfmt()
that accepts a stride_alignment parameter, mirroring the existing
v4l2_fill_pixfmt_mp() / v4l2_fill_pixfmt_mp_aligned() pair.
v4l2_fill_pixfmt() is refactored to call v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned()
with stride_alignment=1, preserving its existing behaviour.
The new helper is needed by drivers whose DMA engine requires the
line stride to be a multiple of a specific value, such as the
Renesas RZ/G3E CRU which requires 128-byte alignment.

The RZ/G3E CRU programs the line stride via the AMnIS register, whose
IS field encodes the value in units of 128 bytes. If bytesperline is
not a multiple of 128, the division truncates and the hardware uses a
wrong stride, causing horizontal banding.
commit ace92ccef0c9 ("media: platform: rzg2l-cru: Use v4l2_fill_pixfmt()")
replaced the open-coded aligned calculation with v4l2_fill_pixfmt(),
which sets no alignment, reintroducing the issue.
Switch to v4l2_fill_pixfmt_aligned() with RZG2L_CRU_STRIDE_ALIGN when
info->has_stride is set. RZ/G2L has no AMnIS register and keeps using
v4l2_fill_pixfmt() unchanged.

This could be an inline wrapper in include/media/v4l2-common.h, it would
be more efficient.

I know the existing functions lack documentation, but it's not a reason
to continue with that bad habit :-)
One point that needs to be clearly documented is how the stride
alignment is handled for different planes.

The documentation states that, for RGB888, the stride has to be a
multiple of 384 (3*128). Shouldn't you take that into account here ?
Also, for semi-planar YUV 4:2:0, the hardware seems to use a stride
equal to AMnIS*2, which leaves blank lines after every U/V line. That's
something userspace doesn't expect.

Ok, thanks.
I guess we want the same for v4l2_fill_pixfmt_mp() ?

Thanks, I will add documentation in v2.

That would be nice, as a separate patch, if you have time.

Correct.
Currently neither RGB888 nor semi-planar YUV 4:2:0 are supported.
