From c63ea6a840ad87e32239eb6b771ac8bbc3279b54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] media: v4l2-common: add pixel encoding support

Commit d5a897c8428b38053df4b427a4277b1a0722bfa0 upstream.

It is often useful to figure out if a pixel_format is either YUV or RGB
especially for driver who can perform the pixel encoding conversion.

Instead of having each driver implement its own "is_this_yuv/rgb"
function based on a restricted set of pixel value, it is better to do
this in centralized manner.

We therefore add a pixel_enc member to the v4l2_format_info structure to
quickly identify the related pixel encoding.
And add helper functions to check pixel encoding.
