V4L/DVB (9787): soc-camera: let camera host drivers decide upon pixel format
Pixel format requested by the user is not necessarily the same, as what a sensor driver provides. There are situations, when a camera host driver provides the required format, but requires a different format from the sensor. Further, the list of formats, supported by sensors is pretty static and can be pretty good described with a constant list of structures. Whereas decisions, made by camera host drivers to support requested formats can be quite complex, therefore it is better to let the host driver do the work.
