Aha, so you see A can't happen and I see B can't happen ;-)

I think somewhere there's a logic change as part of the dewarp rotation
enablement which /isn't/ in this tree but didn't prevent me applying
these patches on mainline - so I could perhaps say this patch needs to
be part of the dewarp support instead of targetting mainline already.

I also think there's something I've probably missed elsewhere so I
should re-parse the logic paths here...

But it can return a null format (As seen by the previous debug
enablement patch) which then leads to :

And in this case I have an IMX283 20MP camera connected which is a
larger resolution than the ISP can parse.

So we're suddenly setting an invalid config, that could never be
configured.
