Yes, I agree, that those formats will be just forwarded as is by ISPs, but the user-space wants to know the contents, so, it might be more useful to provide information about specific components, even if their packing layout cannot be defined in a generic way with offsets and sizes. Even saying "you're getting formats YUYV and JPEG in vendor-specific packing #N" might be more useful, than just "vendor-specific format #N".
