From commit ef86447e775fb1f2ced00d4c7fff2c0a1c63f165 we know the special
"analog" 2x binning mode causes artefacts for RAW10 1640x1232 capture.
But it works (and is preferred due to higher pixelrate) for RAW10
640x480.
I did some experimentation with different resolutions, keeping format
set to RAW10, and analog binning always enabled.
Any width > 1624 causes same artefacts. And any width <= 1624 gives a
normal image. Height doesn't seem to matter.
Dave do you know somebody in Sony who can clarify why that is the case?
I am planning to send a v3 for this patch using width <= 1624 to decide
which binning mode to pick.
