Ok, when the sensor's resolution is not the highest one, what happens is
that  the frame is retrieved via some timeout logic:

[10447.865064] ov2680 i2c-OVTI2680:00: ov2680_s_stream one
[10447.865491] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: timeout recovery handling done
[10450.029956] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: [WARNING]asd 0 pipe ATOMISP ISP PREVIEW output ISP timeout 1!
[10450.030099] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: pipe on asd0 timeout cnt: (0, 0, 1, 0) of 2, recover = 1
[10450.030137] atomisp-isp2 0000:00:03.0: pipe on asd1 timeout cnt: (0, 0, 0, 0) of 2, recover = 1

It sounds that it can't properly detect the end of frame when the
sensor is not on its highest resolution.

Basically atomisp_wdt_work() is triggered by a 
IA_CSS_EVENT_TYPE_FW_ASSERT event. Identifying why this is happening 
is not trivial, though.
