[PATCH] v4l: Add source change event for colorimetry

From: Stanimir Varbanov
Date: Thu Jul 02 2020 - 06:00:45 EST


This event indicate that the source colorspace is changed
during run-time. The client has to retrieve the new colorspace
identifiers by getting the format (G_FMT).

+ - This event gets triggered when a colorspace change is detected at
+ an input. By colorspace change here we include also changes in the
+ colorspace specifiers (transfer function, Y'CbCr encoding and
+ quantization). This event can come from an input or from video decoder.
+ Once the event has been send to the client the driver has to update
+ the colorspace specifiers internally so that they could be retrieved by
+ client. In that case queue re-negotiation is not needed as this change
+ only reflects on the interpretation of the data.
