Here is a quick patch adding support for enumerating mbus codes to v4l2-ctl.
You get some compile warnings, just ignore those.
An example using vimc, listing the code for pad 1:
$ ./v4l2-ctl -d /dev/v4l-subdev5 --list-subdev-mbus-codes=1
ioctl: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE
0x00001013: BGR888_1X24
0x0000100a: RGB888_1X24
0x0000100d: ARGB8888_1X32

Hans
