Hi Yunfei,

thanks for the patch.

The commit title should be in imperative, so I suggest:

media: mediatek: vcodec: Make MM21 the default capture format

Again, I think this commit message could be improved a bit. Here's a suggestion:

Given that only the MM21 capture format is supported by userspace tools (like
gstreamer and libyuv), make it the default capture format.

This allows us to force the MM21 format even when a MM21 and MT21C capable
firmware is available (which is needed while dynamic format switching isn't
implemented in the driver), without causing the following regressions on
v4l2-compliance:

fail: v4l2-test-formats.cpp(478): pixelformat 3132544d (MT21) for buftype 9 not reported by ENUM_FMT
test VIDIOC_G_FMT: FAIL
fail: v4l2-test-formats.cpp(478): pixelformat 3132544d (MT21) for buftype 9 not reported by ENUM_FMT
test VIDIOC_TRY_FMT: FAIL
fail: v4l2-test-formats.cpp(478): pixelformat 3132544d (MT21) for buftype 9 not reported by ENUM_FMT
test VIDIOC_S_FMT: FAIL

Also, I think it would be slightly better if this was the first patch in the
series, so that v4l2-compliance doesn't fail in between the patches.

With this change I've confirmed that all v4l2-compliance tests are passing again:

Total for mtk-vcodec-dec device /dev/video2: 46, Succeeded: 46, Failed: 0, Warnings: 0

So, after the above comments are addressed,
