Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what exactly you're proposing. Please, just look at my last reply, in which I explain, why I don't think this is a good way to fix things. You don't need to support various formats natively on CSI / IPU to be able to just pass data 1-to-1. If that is your only purpose, please, test it that way, and if it is broken, please, fix it. This would be good even if you actually want to support formats natively eventually, because that would also fix other formats with similar sample-per-pixel values. When this is fixed, if you want to actually support formats natively to perform some hardware-assisted format conversions, that also can be done, but then, please, explain this clearly in your patch (series).
