I don't think it is the case to drop the dependencies. If you go down
that path you would need to be very careful. It's enough to add stubs
for those functions like you've done for v4l2_subdev_get_try_format().
Now, looking around a bit in more detail, most sensor drivers return
-ENOTTY if you require V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY format when
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API is not defined. I would say all drivers
but mt9v111.c, which is one of the most recent ones, and that deals
with the issue as:
static struct v4l2_mbus_framefmt *__mt9v111_get_pad_format(
struct mt9v111_dev *mt9v111,
struct v4l2_subdev_pad_config *cfg,
unsigned int pad,
enum v4l2_subdev_format_whence which)
{
switch (which) {
case V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY:
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API)
return v4l2_subdev_get_try_format(&mt9v111->sd, cfg, pad);
#else
return &cfg->try_fmt;
#endif
case V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE:
return &mt9v111->fmt;
default:
return NULL;
}
}
Since I wrote that part, and I recall it had been suggested to me, I
wonder which one of the two approaches it actually correct :/

The config options is described as:
Enables the V4L2 sub-device pad-level userspace API used to configure
video format, size and frame rate between hardware blocks.
Some driver simply do not expose a subdev in userspace. It might be
discussed that if selecting MEDIA_CONTROLLER should in facts be enough
and to imply CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API, but that's a separate
issue.

Yep, ov2659 was b0rken already, thanks for fixing it while at there.
Thanks
