The change looks good. The explanation could perhaps be improved. Perhaps
something along this instead ?

Some pixel formats can only be produced if the decoder outputs 
reference pictures directly. In some cases, such as AV1 film-grain,
the use of the post-processor is strictly required. In this case,
only enumerate the post-processor supported formats. The exception is
when V4L2_FMTDESC_FLAG_ENUM_ALL is set, in this case, we enumerate
everything regardless of the state.

Perhaps long term we should rename need_postproc by force_postproc. I think this
would help reading the code.
