I wonder if this shouldn't be accounted for already in the sizeimage
returned by TRY_/S_FMT, so that the application can know the required
buffer size if it uses some external allocator and DMABUF memory type.
I know we had it like this in our downstream code, but it wasn't the
problem because we use minigbm, where we explicitly add the same
padding in the rockchip backend. Any thoughts?

Best regards,
Tomasz
