Actually, this function can only be called for f->type values
V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE or V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE.
The easiest way to fix this is to replace this:
if (f->type == V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE)
fmt = inst->fmt_cap;
else if (f->type == V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE)
fmt = inst->fmt_out;
by:
if (f->type == V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE)
fmt = inst->fmt_cap;
else
fmt = inst->fmt_out;
And the same in a bit lower down in this function.
