[PATCH 1/2] media: imx: Round line size to 4 bytes

This has been broken in e352833d, which does not actually copy the logic
from 056f9af9.

Section 13.7.6.13 "CSI Image Parameter Register" of the
i.MX 8M Quad Applications Processors Reference Manual
states that the line size should be divisible by 8 bytes.
However, the hardware also accepts sizes divisible by 4 bytes.

This patch accepts line sizes divisible 4-bytes in non-planar mode.

Hi,

in recent kernels, I've noticed that the Librem 5 camera driver no longer works. The s5k3l6xx out of tree sensor driver uses sizes divisible by 4 and not by 8, for which I submitted the patch 056f9af9 . The new kernels no longer accept sizes divisible by 4.

I tracked down the source: previously, the video device on the imx8m used imx_media_mbus_fmt_to_pix_fmt. e352833d introduced imx7_csi_mbus_fmt_to_pix_fmt, which is what is used now exclusively. However, imx7_csi_mbus_fmt_to_pix_fmt *does not* contain the same logic, and does not provide an explanation why the logic is different.

I don't know why the "imx_*" is not used any more on the i.MX8M SoC, but I presume that "imx7_*" is the correct code path. That indicates that "imx_*" is *not* the correct code for this SoC.

Under those assumptions, I added the relaxed rounding to the "imx7_*" function, to match what the SoC can do (patch 1). I also reverted my original patch (patch 2), because if "imx7_*" is the correct function for my SoC, then I had never intended to mess with whatever other SoC is handled by the "imx_" function.

Cheers,
Dorota
