[PATCH 2/2] media: uvcvideo: Convey full ycbcr colorspace information to v4l2

From: Adam Goode
Date: Sat Aug 22 2020 - 21:21:59 EST


The Color Matching Descriptor has been present in USB cameras since
the original version of UVC, but it has never been fully used
in Linux.

This change informs V4L2 of all of the critical colorspace parameters:
colorspace (called "color primaries" in UVC), transfer function
(called "transfer characteristics" in UVC), ycbcr encoding (called
"matrix coefficients" in UVC), and quantization, which is always
LIMITED for UVC, see section 2.26 in USB_Video_FAQ_1.5.pdf.

The quantization is the most important improvement for this patch,
because V4L2 will otherwise interpret MJPEG as FULL range. Web browsers
such as Chrome and Firefox already ignore V4L2's quantization for USB
devices and use the correct LIMITED value, but other programs such
as qv4l2 will incorrectly interpret the output of MJPEG from USB
cameras without this change.
