I agree.

Regarding terminology:

RGB and YUV are typically interleaved, i.e. the color components are
(for two pixels) either RGBRGB for RGB888, YUVYUV for YUV444 or YUYV
for YUV422.

Planar formats are in practice only seen for YUV and will first output
all Y samples, and then the UV samples. This requires that the hardware
buffers the frame and that's not normally done by HDMI receivers.

The DMA engine, however, is often able to split up the interleaved YUV
samples that it receives and DMA them to separate buffers, thus turning
an interleaved media bus format to a planar memory format.

BT656 doesn't refer to how the samples are transferred, instead it
refers to how the hsync and vsync are reported. The enum v4l2_mbus_type
has various options, one of them being BT656.

Which mbus type is used is board specific (and should come from the
device tree). Whether to transmit RGB888, YUV444 or YUV422 (or possibly
even YUV420) is dynamic and is up to userspace since it is use-case
dependent.

So you'll never switch between BT656 and CSI, but you can switch between
BT656+RGB and BT656+YUV, or between CSI+RGB and CSI+YUV.

As mentioned above, you wouldn't switch between mbus types.

You wouldn't switch between mbus types, but if the device tree configures
BT.656 with a bus width of 24 bits, then the application might very well
want to dynamically switch between 8, 10 and 12 bits per color component.

You probably need to add a layer in between:

	switch (state->info->type) {
	case TDAXXXX:
		switch (mbus_type) {
		case BT656:
			switch (bus_width) {
			case 24:
				add support for 8, 10 and 12 bit mbus_codes,
				and whatever else can be supported by this width.
