Actually , in some words, this is what I am doing.
I am following Laurent's advice:
enumerate the formats supported for a given mbus code.
In consequence, if the mbus code given is a raw mbus code , I can
advertise all my ISC formats, and if the mbus code is not raw, I don't .
So I am doing what you are saying, namely three cases:
If there is no mbus code given as a parameter to this function, I
advertise all my formats, raw, non-raw, etc.
If there is raw mbus code given, I advertise this specific raw mbus code
if the sensor supports it, and the ISC supports it, and in addition, all
the formats ISC can convert from raw to.
If the mbus code given is not raw, then, I can only advertise this
specific non-raw format, since there is nothing more I can do with it.
It wouldn't make much sense to still advertise my rgb,yuv formats, since
they cannot be used at all, and my later try_validate_formats will bail out

About this last part you are telling me: I have to tell you what am I
doing right now: with this patch series, including this patch, I am
adding support for mc handling in this driver, but! the driver is still
completely compatible with 'the old way' like setting fmt-video for
/dev/video0 and everything is propagated down the pipeline.
I am doing the conversion to mc-only type of driver in multiple steps.
This series adds the 'new way' while having the 'old way' still there.
At the moment I am working on another patch on top of this series that
will basically remove most of my format propagation logic from
/dev/video0 to the subdevice, and after this patch that is on the way,
the 'old way' is gone. The sensor will *have to* be configured through
userspace because ISC will never call set_fmt on it at all.
So the purpose of the patch you are reviewing now is to have the mbus
code parameter in the enum_fmt_vid_cap in the way the current driver
handles things.
So if you agree, I will let the other patch speak for itself and rework
the logic completely .
I am currently trying to do it at streamon() time like Laurent told me,
but I can try to have it at validate link as well, to see how it works.
I will add that patch to the series when it's ready and I have a v2 of
this series as well. So in baby steps, I am working towards the goal. I
am not sure if this means that you could agree to this patch as-is, or I
have to integrate it completely into a bigger patch that will also fix
everything up including the format logic.
Thanks again for your review and ideas
