Add generic serial metadata mbus formats. These formats describe data width and packing but not the content itself. The reason for specifying such formats is that the formats as such are fairly device specific but they are still handled by CSI-2 receiver drivers that should not be aware of device specific formats. What makes generic metadata formats possible is that these formats are parsed by software only, after capturing the data to system memory. Also add a definition for "Data unit" to cover what is essentially a pixel but is not image data.
The CCS spec talks about legacy packing and optimized packing for 16+ bit formats. You cover only the "legacy" ones here. Did you look at those?
