How does that differ from YUV ?

I need to say that I am very new to this whole format stuff and so I
am not really sure.
In the data sheet
http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/download/hardware/ADV7175A_6A.pdf there is
on the
first page a FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM which shows that there is a
"YCrCb to YUV Matrix"
stage in the pipeline. I am also fine to use a YUV format for the media bus.
Any suggestions?

Okay I think I have found the difference between YUV and YCrCb - see [1]
YCbCr 4:2:2
(Redirected from YUV 4:2:2)
FourCCs: YUY2, UYVY, YUV2 (Apple Component Video stored in MOV files)
Samples: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/YUV2/
(These FourCC names only reflect that the YCbCr of digital media is
often falsely mixed up with analog PAL's YUV color space.)
YCbCr 4:2:2 is a packed YCbCr format in which a pair of consecutive
pixels is represented by 1 Y sample each but share a Cb sample and a
Cr sample.
This type of data may be packaged in a container format with a a
FourCC of YUY2 which indicates the following byte formatting:

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuv,
"Historically, the terms YUV and Y'UV were used for a specific analog encoding
of color information in television systems, while YCbCr was used for digital
encoding of color information suited for video and still-image compression and
transmission such as MPEG and JPEG. Today, the term YUV is commonly used in
the computer industry to describe file-formats that are encoded using YCbCr."
V4L2 seems to suffer from the ambiguity, as we use YUV as generic term to mean
a digital luma/chroma format. I thus think your driver should use the existing
YUV pixel codes.
