Resend for the plain text issue
Thanks.
There is another reason mentioned by Hans:
"
The problem is that within V4L2 we use fourcc consistently to describe a
format, including in VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT. And the expectation is that the fourcc
can be printed to a human readable string (there is even a printk format for
that these days).
But the pcm values are all small integers (and can even be 0!), and
printing the fourcc will give garbage. It doesn't work well at all
with the V4L2 API. But by having a straightforward conversion between the
pcm identifier and a fourcc it was really easy to deal with this.
There might even be applications today that call VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT to see
what is supported and fail if it is not a proper fourcc is returned.
It will certainly report nonsense in v4l_print_fmtdesc() (v4l2-ioctl.c).
One of the early versions of this patch series did precisely what you request,
but it just doesn't work well within the V4L2 uAPI.
