Sorry to revive this, but I see that this patch is currently merged:

Merged a first time in 3192b2ca79b3f72fbc0eab9cd95432e3c317ab0d,
Reverted in dca6b3733a4a46e63603496f544ece8ace541fde
Merged again in  81735ecb62f882853a37a8c157407ec4aed44fd0

Could that last merge be an error? As far as I know the final call was
that hardware read-ahead required the initial alignment, and with the
patch v4l2-compliance has one more failure on G_FMT.

The last merge came before Tomasz last email, and this patch is also
not in the Chrome OS tree, so unless someone speaks up I will consider
this should have been reverted and will do it in the next iteration of
my mtk-vcodec encoder series.
