Decoupling CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API from the availability of the in-kernel
pad format and selection rectangles helpers is definitely a good idea. I was
thinking about decoupling the try format and rectangles from v4l2_subdev_fh by
creating a kind of configuration store structure to store them, and embedding
that structure in v4l2_subdev_fh. The pad-level operations would then take a
pointer to the configuration store instead of the v4l2_subdev_fh. Bridge
drivers that want to implement TRY_FMT based on pad-level operations would
create a configuration store, use the pad-level operations, and destroy the
configuration store. The userspace subdev API would use the configuration
store from the file handle.
