Add generic serial metadata mbus formats. These formats describe data width and packing but not the content itself. The reason for specifying such formats is that the formats as such are fairly device specific but they are still handled by CSI-2 receiver drivers that should not be aware of device specific formats. What makes generic metadata formats possible is that these formats are parsed by software only, after capturing the data to system memory. Also add a definition for "Data Unit" to cover what is essentially a pixel but is not image data.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
