[PATCH v4 14/36] [media] v4l2-mc: add a function to inherit controls from a pipeline

Hi!
Argh! that is indeed a bug at libv4l (and maybe at gstreamer).

I guess that the always_needs_conversion logic was meant to be used to
really odd proprietary formats, e. g:
	
/*  Vendor-specific formats   */
#define V4L2_PIX_FMT_CPIA1    v4l2_fourcc('C', 'P', 'I', 'A') /* cpia1 YUV */
#define V4L2_PIX_FMT_WNVA     v4l2_fourcc('W', 'N', 'V', 'A') /* Winnov hw compress */
#define V4L2_PIX_FMT_SN9C10X  v4l2_fourcc('S', '9', '1', '0') /* SN9C10x compression */
...

I suspect that nobody uses libv4l2 with MC-based V4L2 devices. That's
likely why nobody reported this bug before (that I know of).

In any case, for non-proprietary formats, the default should be to
always offer both the emulated format and the original one.

I suspect that the enclosed patch should fix the issue with bayer formats.

Is the else still needed? You changed default to 0...
