Could you try running
v4l2-ctl -v width=640,height=480,pixelformat=YU12
before running v4l2-compliance? The default format is JPEG, and I just
wonder if there is an issue lurking in the compression side.

I'll get a Pi3 mainline build going when I get a chance.

64 bit builds were working fine (currently broken downstream due to a
different change).
Whilst the VPU and IPC are only 32bit, there are idr lookups from any
64bit values in the kernel.
Once things have calmed down again a bit I will be resuming 64bit
kernel with 32bit userland work.

I think some of the items were wishlist items from others rather than
requirements.

1) For dma-bufs to be useful in the rest of the system we need to
switch from the vmalloc allocator to dma-contig. Downstream I have
drivers in place that then allow the passing of the dma_addr to the
VPU for use as a buffer handle.
It also means a switch from allocating memory as gpu_mem to cma, so
requires some careful thought on our side for how heap allocation is
done.

2) Removing the extra copy isn't trivial on the firmware side.
Multi-planar also doesn't currently fall out easily as the VPU
requirements would be for a single contiguous allocation with offsets
for the planes. The current allocators allocate independent buffers
for each plane, and put page alignment requirements on each plane.
Other than SDRAM bandwidth, it has a minimal performance hit on the
system.

3) ARM64 works. Someone else may recall better on this, but I believe
vchi is now using the correct dma-ops for everything.

Thanks again for all your efforts on this.
