Some V4L2 drivers fail to allocate buffers when sizeimage is not set
to a max value. This is indeed the case for sp5-mfc [1]

Most drivers should be able to calculate this value from the frame
dimensions and format - or at least have their own default.

However since this work around should not impact those drivers doing
the "right thing" this commit just provides such a default.

Isn't this something that should be fixed in the driver?

yes but it might take forever and I dont know how many other drivers might need it.


Why 2MB?

no analysis done but seems to be enough to hold an encoded frame. Should it be any bigger?

I could use the calculations below if a generic magic number is a problem:

please let me know
