Hi Sakari and all,
I'm sorry to up this thread from an year ago but I'm currently thinking
about a problem which is related to this so I decided to ask here.

So the question is whether the video device node should:
a) keep its format and framesize always in sync with what is set on the
subdev node with active link to it. This means all s_fmt and enum_fmt
will return only the value which is in sink with the subdev node;
b) allow to set all possible allowed formats and framesizes. This however
allows the userspace to try to start the streaming with format and
framesizes not in sync (on video and subdev node) in which case the
start streaming will fail.
Currently the driver is implemented as in b) and I hit this problem (in b))
when I try to use it from opencv. I wonder how this can be overcome, the
userspace cannot be blamed that it tried to start streaming for format
and framesize which were allowed to be set.
Are there any new insights on this lately - what can be done to avoid
the problems in a) and b)?
Thank you.
