Yes, it seems like a good idea to add it as a control of the sensor.

I think the code that set the format should move to the
code that registers the sensor in vimc-sensor.c

The colors are generated by the tpg, so I think it should be a feature of the tpg to print the colors.

For example, a function in v4l2-tpg-core.c that get the pattern as an argument and return
this string, or maybe returns a const pointer to the array of colors, or something like that.
Then maybe we can add a control in vivid for the same tpg feature.

Note also that the sensor has a control to change the pattern: vimc_sen_ctrl_test_pattern
So the string depends on that pattern.

Thanks,
Dafna
