Is this supported? v4l2_plane is typically used if the planes are allocated separately. If you allocate it in one go, aren't the planes then at well-defined offsets from the start? If so, then it is either one of the already pre-defined planar formats found here: http://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/spec/media.html#yuv-formats or you define a pixelformat specific to your own hardware that identifies that particular format. If it is one allocation, but there is no clear calculation based on width and height that gives you the start of each plane, then we do not support that at the moment. I believe I had a discussion about something similar with people from Qualcomm, but that never came to anything. That would be something to discuss on the linux-media mailinglist.
