I've been developing support for some Qcom ISP functionality, and
during the course of this I ran into the issue I was describing, where
the 3280x2464 mode actually outputs 3264x2448.

I can think of two reasons for this, either ISP driver bugs on my end
or the fact that the sensor is being run outside of the specification
and which could be resulting in differences between how the ov8856
sensors behave.
