Besides a bunch of devices with the atomisp I also have 1 IPU3
based device with an ov2680 sensor. So I could capture full
raw resolution there. But unless I modify the driver full
raw resolution is 1616x1216 where as before this patch the driver
sets v_end to 1631 so more pixels then the full size, which is
the weirdness this patch corrects.
