I did some research into planar formats in our drivers and (of course) it's a big
mess.

I looked at drivers that support V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV422P, which is fairly common:

s5p-fimc:	follows the spec
arv:		follows the spec
vpif_capture:	follows the spec
vpif_display:	follows the spec
pxa_camera:	no idea, I can't figure this out
s3c-camif:	follows the spec
exynos-gsc:	uses depth
s2255:		uses depth
usbvision:	uses depth
saa7146:	uses depth
saa7134:	uses depth
bttv:		follows the spec

I think we should follow the spec here. In practice, nobody uses planar formats
for consumer-type hardware as it is a very awkward format, and libv4l doesn't
support it either. Since there is no clear common practice in our drivers, I'd
say we stick to the spec.
