I added it as a --help option argument in order to imply it's a part of the
program's usage instructions, which is what it indeed is. It's not a list of
media bus formats supported by a device.

A separate option is fine, but it should be clear that it's about just
listing supported formats. E.g. --list-supported-mbus-fmts. But that's a
long one. Long options are loooong.
