That's right, but it would be set to 0 because of the memset. 
RKVDEC2_TIMEOUT_8K might not be enough for bigger frame sizes, so I'll set it 
to the maximum value (0xffffffff) when frames are bigger than 8K and also adapt 
the watchdog time: RKVDEC2_TIMEOUT_8K is around 100 ms, but 0xffffffff is arnoud 
5.3 seconds (reg032/axi_clock_freq)

I'll do more tests with this as well.

Is fsize->stepwise.min_height = 1; and fsize->stepwise.min_width = 1 correct ?
Or do you mean fsize->stepwise.step_height = 1; and fsize->stepwise.setp_width 
= 1 ? 

It would give this instead:

.frmsize = {
	.min_width = 16,
	.max_width =  65520,
	.step_width = 1,
	.min_height = 16,
	.max_height =  65520,
	.step_height = 1,
},

and .vidioc_enum_framesizes sets fsize->type = V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_CONTINUOUS;
