I don't think the real buffer size, as calculated through the correct
memory backend could be larger than the maximum reported size. The
purpose of the jpeg.MaxSize is to report the maximum allocation the
camera framework has to perform to support the largest JPEG size,
don't it ?

This (seems) to only happen when the backend mis-calculate the buffer
size and returns a value larger than jpeg.MaxSize
