So the AV1 (for example) compressed video uses e.g. 8 bit depth, but instead of just listing only 8 bit uncompressed pixelformats, you want to list them for any bit depth. But what is the point of that if the decoder can't decode 8 bit compressed to, say, 10 bit uncompressed video? I actually thought that this flag would just list all formats, independent of the output format (e.g. AV1, H264, etc.), but that does not appear to be the case? I.e., if capture pixelformat X is only available with AV1, will that still be listed if the output pixel is set to H264? I think you need to describe a real use-case here, and I am not convinced about the name of the flag either. > > changes in version 4: > - Explicitly document that the new flags are targeting mem2mem devices. > > changes in version 3: > - Add a flag to inform userspace application that driver > as take care of the flag. > > changes in version 2: > - Clarify documentation. > - Only keep V4L2_FMT_FLAG_ALL_FORMATS flag in ioctl. > > Benjamin > > Benjamin Gaignard (2): > media: videodev2: Add flags to unconditionnaly enumerate pixels > formats I.e.: it is not unconditionally, it still depends on the chosen codec.
