If only used for aligning in

v4l_bound_align_image
(&req_fmt->format.width, 16, 10000, 0,
&req_fmt->format.height, 16, 10000, 0, 0);

I think you can use UINT_MAX to make it more explicit ?

Yes. Last 536 pixels will be dropped.

No, the image won't be padded with blanks on the right side. Actually
this cannot happen due to a very big reason: the frame is being written
to the main memory by a DMA controller. This DMA controller will write
all the lines at consecutive addresses, and it will write exactly how
many pixels are being captured by the module from the ISC named
'parallel front end' which does the cropping. Thus, the DMA will never
output empty padding bytes at the end of each line, and it will not add
a certain stride to each line if not instructed to. In fact the DMA can
add a stride offset for the address of each line, which can be used for
composing or copying the frame into another frame, but this is a
different story. ( I tried this for fun, but not implemented in the
driver at the moment)

The cropping is also mandatory even if the captured frame is less than
the maximum size, because the ISC has no configuration related to frame
size in fact. The parallel front end captures pixels and the dma engine
will write them to memory. There is no control over this except the
cropping.
So for example if the software expects 640x480 but somehow someone sends
more pixels, it can lead to buffer overflow if the parallel front end is
not configured to ignore(crop) anything beyond 640x480 .

With this being said, or having an understanding about the sink pad of
the ISC, how should I configure the sink frame size ?
Is there any possibility to avoid limits on the frame size and have it
arbitrary ?
I am 99% sure that v4l2-compliance will not be happy if there is no
limit on the frame on entity pads (hence, I bound-aligned the frame to
16x16 up to 10k x 10k )
