This is a bit ambiguous regarding if OUTPUT queue FMT is ignored or not. From
our chat, it is ignored in this implementation. Such if I use MTK VCODEC as an
example, using that feature would return:
- MM21
- MT2T
- MT2R
At high level, the use case is to find an easy way to combine the per codec
profile information and the pixel format, since userspace can only use e.g.
10bit capability if it knows the associated pixel formats. This implementation
is already useful in my opinion, I'll try and draft a GStreamer change to use
it, as I think it will better support the idea. But it has come ceavats.
Notably, if you had a userland that implement MT2T (VP9/AV1/HEVC) but not MT2R
(H264), it would not have an easy API to figure-out. It would still have to
resort into enumerating formats for each possible codec and codec specific
compound control configuration.
An alternative is to make this enumerate "all" for the configure OUTPUT format.
This increase the precision, while still allowing generic code to be used. In
pseudo code that would be like:
for output formats
S_FMT(OUTPUT)
for ALL capture formats
store(format)
Where right now we have do do:
for output formats
S_FMT(OUTPUT)
S_CTRL(codec_specific_ctl_config_1)
for capture formats
store(format)
S_CTRL(codec_specific_ctl_config_n)
for capture format
store(format)
...
S_CTRL(codec_specific_ctl_config_n)
for capture formats
store(format)
Where each config would demote a specific feature, like 10bit, 422, 444, film-
grain (posprocessing affect output formats). The posprocessing remains a bit
hard to figure-out in both cases though. But in practice, if I use Hantro AV1
decoder as an example, I'd get something like:
NV15_4L4
P010
Where NV15_4L4 is not available with filmgrain filter, but P010 is always
available. For my GStreamer use case (template caps) this wouldn't be a problem,
P010 is a well supported format and I strictly need a superset of the supported
formats.
What I'd really gain is that I don't have to do complicated enumeration logic
per codec features.

p.s. It would be logical to update dev-stateless-decoder doc, to mention this
enumeration option. Currently it says:
To enumerate the set of supported raw formats, the client calls
VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT() on the CAPTURE queue.
* The driver must return only the formats supported for the format
currently active on the OUTPUT queue.
* Depending on the currently set OUTPUT format, the set of supported
raw formats may depend on the value of some codec-dependent controls. The
client is responsible for making sure that these controls are set before
querying the CAPTURE queue. Failure to do so will result in the default
values for these controls being used, and a returned set of formats that
may not be usable for the media the client is trying to decode.

In other similar places, we still clear the flags, and only keep the allowed
bits. Maybe we should do this here too to avoid accidental flags going through ?
That should maybe be under some capability flag, so that userland knows if the
driver did implement that feature or not. If the driver didn't set that flag, we
can then clear it so that userlands not checking that flag would at least get an
enumeration response without it.
