How does the userspace know the right resolution of buffers to
allocate? Note that in general there is no guarantee that it's equal
to stream coded size, as there may be driver-specific alignments
involved.

Regardless of that, in the stateful spec the resolution of the CAPTURE
queue can change even if the queue has buffers allocated already, i.e.
when there is a dynamic resolution change. Maybe we should be
consistent with that behavior and disallow only pixelformat changes?
That would require careful synchronization in the driver, though, to
reject any already queued incompatible buffers, but could speed up
handling of resolution changes thanks to the ability to have big
enough buffers preallocated.

Okay, so basically the failure condition is whether the destination
format would change after this function. I guess it makes sense if we
decide to go with such behavior.

Comparing source and destination formats in the code is at least
confusing, though. It relies on the current driver behavior to use the
same framebuffer size as stream coded size, but they are not
equivalent in general. Perhaps we could have a comment there?
