Will re-write the commit message in next version as below, could you
please help to review whether it's well to be used ?

Libyuv is one software library used to covert format. Only covert
mediatek MM21 to standard yuv420 for MT21 is compressed mode and MM21
is uncompressed mode at current period. Need to set capture queue
format to MM21 in order to use Libyuv.

If the firmware only support MT21 => won't exist for vp8 need to use
MM21.

If the firmware only support MM21, will using MM21.
If the firmware support MT21 & MM21, will force VP8 to use MM21,
H264/VP9/AV1 will use MT21 before this change.

Will force all driver to use MM21 after adding this change.
