The VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT ioctl enumerates all formats supported by a video
node. For MC-centric devices, its behaviour has always been ill-defined,
with drivers implementing one of the following behaviours:
- No support for VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT at all
- Enumerating all formats supported by the video node, regardless of the
configuration of the pipeline
- Enumerating formats supported by the video node for the active
configuration of the connected subdevice
The first behaviour is obviously useless for applications. The second
behaviour provides the most information, but doesn't offer a way to find
what formats are compatible with a given pipeline configuration. The
third behaviour fixes that, but with the drawback that applications
can't enumerate all supported formats anymore, and have to modify the
active configuration of the pipeline to enumerate formats.
The situation is messy as none of the implemented behaviours are ideal,
and userspace can't predict what will happen as the behaviour is
driver-specific.
To fix this, let's extend the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT with a missing capability:
enumerating pixel formats for a given media bus code. The media bus code
is passed through the v4l2_fmtdesc structure in a new mbus_code field
(repurposed from the reserved fields). With this capability in place,
applications can enumerate pixel formats for a given media bus code
without modifying the active configuration of the device.
The current behaviour of the ioctl is preserved when the new mbus_code
field is set to 0, ensuring compatibility with existing userspace. The
API extension is documented as mandatory for MC-centric devices (as
advertised through the V4L2_CAP_IO_MC capability), allowing applications
and compliance tools to easily determine the availability of the
VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT extension.
