Thanks a lot for tracking down and fixing these issues.

I just have a small comment below.

I think is worth to add a comment here explaining that the pixel is set to
1 for brightness > 127 and to 0 for brightness < 128. Or as kernel-doc for
this helper function.

Pekka also mentioned that if (*src++ > 127) would make this easier to read.
