Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the quick review.

From wave5-vpuconfig.h:
Decoder supports 8192x4320
Encoder supports 8192x8192
So worst case is 8192x8192x3 = 201326592 before divide by 8.
No risk for integer overflow here.

Looking at the driver, it looks like 10-bit is supported by the Wave515
variant. But as you mentioned no TI product has Wave5 variant with
10-bit so I can't validate :(.
I can update the function to account for worst case of 20bpp if you
think that is more appropriate. Memory consumption will already increase
if client leaves sizeimage 0 - might be worth allocating for actual
worst case here.
