As V4L2 spec says that drivers shouldn't do any in-kernel image format
conversion, remove it completely (except YUYV).

What really should happen is that the conversion is moved to libv4lconvert.
I've never had the time to tackle that, but it would improve this driver a
lot.

Would you perhaps be interested in doing that work?


Seconded! I would be more then happy to help with the libv4l part (in the form
of review + merging + advice).

Regards,

Hans
