Use data offsets provided by applications for multi-planar capture
buffers. This allows V4L to import and use dma-bufs exported by other
subsystems in cases where application wants to customize data offsets
of capture buffers in order to meet hardware alignment requirements of
both dma-buf exporter and importer.
This feature is wanted for providing a better support of media hardware
found on Chromebooks. In particular display and camera ISP hardware of
Rockchip and MediaTek SoCs require special handling by userspace because
display h/w has specific alignment requirements that don't match default
alignments expected by V4L and there is a need to customize the data
offsets in case of multi-planar formats.
Some drivers already have preliminary support for data offsets
customization of capture buffers, like NVIDIA Tegra video decoder driver
for example, and V4L allows applications to provide data offsets for
multi-planar output buffers, let's support such customization for the
capture buffers as well.
