Clients > + are allowed to set the sizeimage field, but drivers may modify it. How about this: ---------------------- Maximum size in bytes required for image data in this plane, set by the driver. When the image consists of variable length compressed data this is the number of bytes required by the codec to support the worst-case compression scenario. For uncompressed images the driver will set the value. For variable length compressed data clients are allowed to set the sizeimage field, but the driver may ignore it and set the value itself, or it may modify the provided value based on alignment requirements or minimum/maximum size requirements. If the client wants to leave this to the driver, then it should set sizeimage to 0. ----------------------- I think this is more precise, esp. the last bit that clients can set it to 0 to have the driver provide the value is important in my view.

This changes v4l2_pix_format and v4l2_plane_pix_format sizeimage field description to allow v4l clients to set bigger image size in case of variable length compressed data.
