Hi,

Was it intentional for this change to alter the pitch?

The alignment requirement has been updated—from 8-bit alignment to 
64-bit alignment. Since the pitch is expressed in bytes, we should pass 
SZ_1 instead of SZ_8 for hw_patch_align.

For example, for an 850×480 framebuffer at 16 bpp, the pitch should be 
1700 bytes. With the new alignment, the pitch becomes 1704 bytes.

Please let me know if you’d like me to submit a fix.

Regards,
Ludovic
