Hi Nicolas,
    As the V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y12 is defined, but it's data is in the 12 low bits, zeros in the high bits.
    Here I want to place the 12 bits data in the high bits, with zeros in the 4 low bits.
    So I add 0 before 12, I want to say that the low bits are padding data 0.
   
    Or do you have a better suggestion?

Ming
