Absolutely. This was just a cosmetic remark. I'm suggesting to put this
branch below the other two, to indicate its relative importance.

That was unexpected, as MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED is documented as:
"MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED shall be used by host-client pairs,
where the data format is fixed."
in include/uapi/linux/media-bus-format.h. I read this as something for a
fixed link between two known devices where there is only one possible
format. Here we can't possibly know what the other side expects.
Is this something that is planned to be removed in the future, once
negotiation support is commonplace?

Then why (would this driver have to) implement get_input_fmts at all?
I'd like this to be consistent. If encoder-bridges don't use the input
bus format in general, I'm fine with this.
I was just confused that the bridge takes part in input format
negotiation and then carries on using the output format to configure its
input.

We'd actually have to pick one here. If set, that should be
imxpd->bus_format.
