I know the VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS allows creating a buffer with a different 
size than the driver suggests in G_FMT.

But the vb2_ops->queue_setup() could check whether the sizeimages meet 
its minimal requirement with the current format.

This enables a problem that the driver need to check the buffer size 
before they make a hardware use a buffer from the rdy_queue.


Thinking of such case, we know a AV1 sequence(VP9 or VP8 didn't have a 
sequence header) would need a much large buffer for the alternative 
reference frame.

Then create one special buffer for the altref, the driver need a 
hardware to pick it from the rdy_queue first or it would be a waste to 
use it as a regular frame buffer.

Also missing such step would not solve the memory allocation problem.
