This actually makes me wonder if those informations (ycbcb_enc,
quantization and xfer_func) shouldn't actually be part of the
supported format list... I blindly added those default fields in the
try_fmt function, but I doubt they applies to all supported formats.

Eg. the sensor supports YUYV as well as 2 RGB encodings (RGB444 and
RGB 565) and 1 raw format (BGGR). I now have a question here:

1) ycbcr_enc transforms non-linear R'G'B' to Y'CbCr: does this
applies to RGB and raw formats? I don't think so, and what value is
the correct one for the ycbcr_enc field in this case? I assume
xfer_func and quantization applies to all formats instead..

Thanks
