Oops, how could I not notice it. Sorry for the noise.

Yes, please. I think the double checking is confusing for the reader.

So I can see 2 cases here:
1) Userspace gives ext struct and driver accepts legacy.
In this case, the kernel needs to adjust the structure to be correct.
-EINVAL is only valid if
"The struct v4l2_format type field is invalid or the requested buffer type not supported."
as per the current uAPI documentation.
2) Driver gives ext struct and userspace accepts legacy.
If at this point we get a struct with no planes, that sounds like a
driver bug, so rather than signaling -EINVAL to the userspace, we should
probably WARN()?
Or am I getting something wrong? :)

I don't have a strong opinion on this, so maybe let's see if others have

Yes. This basically gives us a unified representation across all
pixelformats and allows userspace to handle them in a uniform way, as
opposed to current uAPI.

I'm still reading the rest of the series, so it might be answered
already, but did we decide to do anything about the pixelformat codes
themselves? If both M and non-M variants would be allowed with the new
API, then I guess there isn't anything to save, because the original
format would be preserved?

Cool, thanks.
