This patch intends to extend the converter interface to have feature
flags, which enables each converter to expose the set of features
it supports.

no "get" in getters
I know you'll hit a name clash with function arguments, just rename
them

personally I feel it would be nicer to be able to do something like


REGISTER_CONVERTER("dw100", ConverterDW100, compatibles,
		   Converter::Feature::Crop)

and specify features at converter registration time.

I have patches for this if you're interested.

definitively looks on the right path. For now, I left out the 
REGISTER_CONVERTER parts (since I don't have the test setup yet for this.)

Ideally, a YUV sensor with i.MX8MP ISI and dw100 as converter. And I 
don't have a YUV sensor yet - which can be used with simple pipeline 
handler.
