This patch fell between the cracks, but while cleaning up patchwork
it popped up again :-)

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.
