Could you please also document these formats in

That's not very future-proof, how would you describe SGBRG10ALAW8 for instance
?
Maybe it's time to standardize FOURCCs for Bayer new formats. We have 4
characters, we could start with 'B' to denote Bayer, followed by one character
for the order, one for the compression, and one for the number of bits.
