Generic 8-bit metadata formats define the in-memory data layout but not
the format of the data itself. The reasoning for having such formats is to
allow CSI-2 receiver drivers to receive and DMA drivers to write the data
to memory without knowing a large number of device specific formats.
These formats may be used only in conjunction of a Media controller
pipeline where the internal pad of the source sub-device defines the
specific format of the data (using an mbus code).

+Generic line-based metadata formats
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These generic line-based metadata formats define the memory layout of the data
+without defining the format or meaning of the metadata itself. These formats may
+only be used with a Media controller pipeline where the more specific format is
+defined in an :ref:`internal source pad <MEDIA-PAD-FL-INTERNAL-SOURCE>` of the
+source sub-device. See also :ref:`source routes <v4l2-subdev-source-routes>`.
+
+.. _v4l2-meta-fmt-generic-8:
+
+V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_8
+-----------------------
+
+The V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_8 format is a plain 8-bit metadata format whereas the
+rest of the formats have CSI-2 packing that are typically used on camera sensors
+in conjunction with pixel data of the same bit depth.
+
+This format is also used on CSI-2 on both 8 bits per sample as well as on
+16 bits per sample when two bytes of metadata are packed into one sample.
+
+**Byte Order Of V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_8.**
+Each cell is one byte. "M" denotes a byte of metadata.
