No, the depth is correct. and it is needed for image size calculation.

The problem here which causes confusion is, that bytesperline actually
isn't bytesperline for planar formats (and hence size != bytesperline *
height) when we follow the current spec.
I don't understand the reason for handling this different for planar and
non-planar formats, but I'm sure there is a good one. Hans ?

Given that we can't and/or don't want to change the spec, the correct
fix would be to consider the plane size in the calculation.
This info can be derived either from the format type (implicit) or we
can add it to the format struct (explicit).

Example (using the ratio between the size of the largest plane and the
size of all planes together):

lp_ratio = 1    (for non-planar formats)
lp_ratio = 4/(4+1+1) = 4/6 = 2/3    (for YUV411P)
lp_ratio = 4/(4+2+2) = 4/8 = 1/2    (for YUV422P)
...

=> bytesperline = (width * depth * lp_ratio + 7) >> 3
