Yes, we have the similar JPEG issue, I will currently provide the
patch of JPEG for review, thanks!

They should be added as required, we didn't aim at adding all possible
formats to the list, instead we want to add them gradually one by one as
they get used by specific drivers.

It hasn't yet, maybe Qing (CC'ed) could send a patch for it to the list -
I think, we agreed on the way how it should be done, so, it should be
pretty easy now.

In the host driver you certainly know nothing about sensor features - your
host driver should work with "all" sensor drivers. In existing camera host
drivers these tables are used to specify pixel formats, to which
the host controller can convert some other formats on the hardware. E.g.,
in pxa_camera.c you find a table pxa_camera_formats[] of one element for
the V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV422P format. If you further look into the
pxa_camera_get_formats() function you see, that while enumerating mediabus
pixel codes with a certain client (e.g., a sensor), if the client supports
the V4L2_MBUS_FMT_UYVY8_2X8 mediabus format, the host recognises, that it
supports that format natively and apart from serving it to the application
in the pass-through mode to provide the V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY format (see
drivers/media/video/soc_mediabus.c::mbus_fmt[]), it can also convert it to
the planar V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV422P format. Similarly in
sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c::sh_mobile_ceu_formats[] - if the client supports
one of the four standard YUV 4:2:2 formats, the host can also convert it
to any of the four NV12 / NV16 formats from the table.
