    "content": "When setting a colorspace on a V4L2 video capture device or a subdev\nsource pad, the kernel considers the colorspace, xfer_func, ycbcr_enc\nand quantization fields as four independent values. Any field set to\nV4L2_*_DEFAULT by userspace is ignored, and the driver keeps its current\nconfiguration for that field. This behaviour, while not necessarily well\nknown, is clearly documented in [1] and [2], and is implemented by the\nrkisp1 driver.\n\nThe V4L2Device::fromColorSpace() function, when converting from a\nlibcamera ColorSpace to the V4L2 format colorspace-related fields, first\nattempts to find a match for a colorspace preset. If found, it only sets\nthe colorspace field, and leaves the xfer_func, ycbcr_enc and\nquantization fields to V4L2_*_DEFAULT. This contradicts the V4L2\nspecification, and prevents setting the transfer function, YCbCr\nencoding and quantization on at least rkisp1.\n\nFix this issue by dropping the preset lookup, and set all four\ncolorspace-related fields explicitly.\n\n[1] https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/userspace-api/v4l/pixfmt-v4l2.html#id2\n[2] https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/userspace-api/v4l/subdev-formats.html#id2\n\nSigned-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>\n---\nI expect this change to cause breakages on Raspberry Pi, hence the RFC.\n\nThe bcm2835-isp driver doesn't comply with the V4L2 API specification. I\ncertainly won't blame it, as I implemented the same non-compliant\nbehaviour in the rkisp1 driver initially, before realizing that V4L2\ndoesn't consider the colorspace field as a preset in set format calls\n(this has been confirmed by Hans). The question is how to move forward\nhere. Fixing the driver to make it compliant with V4L2 wouldn't be\ndifficult, but I expect non-libcamera users to be surprised. I don't\nexpect many such users though, so if that's fine, the only possible\nissue would be synchronizing the changes in the driver and in libcamera.\n\nOther options may be possible. I don't think updating the V4L2 API\nspecification to consider the colorspace field as a preset will be well\nreceived upstream (and I don't think I would like that much myself to be\nhonest). Keeping a non-compliant implementation in the bcm2835-isp\ndriver with specific handling in libcamera could be done, but I don't\nthink it would be upstreamable.\n\n---\n src/libcamera/v4l2_device.cpp | 14 --------------\n 1 file changed, 14 deletions(-)",
