+	(codenamed sunxi) platforms, with 32x32 tiles for the luminance plane

+	The associated buffer dimensions are aligned to match an integer number
+	of tiles, resulting in 32-aligned resolutions for the luminance plane
+	and 16-aligned resolutions for the chrominance plane (with 2x2
+	subsampling).
