To help illustrate my point, consider the difference between
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_1X16 and MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_2X8_BE or
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_2X8_LE.  RGB565_1X16 means 1 pixel over an effective
16-bit wide bus (if it's not 16-bit, then it has to be broken up into
separate "samples".)  RGB565_2X8 means 1 pixel as two 8-bit samples.

So, the 10-bit bayer is 1 pixel as 1.25 bytes.  Or is it, over a serial
bus.  Using the RGB565 case, 10-bit bayer over a 4 lane CSI bus becomes
interesting:

	first byte	2nd	3rd
lane 1	P0 9:2		S0	P7 9:2
lane 2	P1 9:2		P4 9:2	S1
lane 3	P2 9:2		P5 9:2	P8 9:2
lane 4	P3 9:2		P6 9:2	P9 9:2

S0 = P0/P1/P2/P3 least significant two bits
S1 = P4/P5/P6/P7 least significant two bits

or 2 lane CSI:
	first byte	2nd	3rd	4th	5th
lane 1	P0 9:2		P2	S0	P5	P7
lane 2	P1 9:2		P3	P4	P6	S1

or 1 lane CSI:
lane 1	P0 P1 P2 P3 S0 P4 P5 P6 P7 S1 P8 P9 ...
These do look like three different media bus formats to me.
This isn't limited to the serial side - the parallel bus side between
the CSI2 interface and CSI2IPU wrapper, and the CSI2IPU wrapper and
the CS0/1 interfaces is much the same with 10-bit bayer.

Think of the CSI2 <-> CSI2IPU bit as the 4-lane case, lane 0 ending
up on the least significant 8 bits of the 32-bit bus, lane 3 on the
top 8-bits.

Post CSI2IPU, it talks about a 16-bit bus in the diagrams, so that's
kind of the 2-lane case above...
You are right, on the parallel buses the format most definitely is not
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SBGGR10_1X10. We don't have any representation of the
32-bit bus between CSI2 host and CSI2IPU gasket because we model the two
as a single entity, but the four 16-bit parallel buses between the
CSI2IPU gasket and the IPU1/2 CSI0/1 probably should be set to a custom
format describing this accurately.

Philipp
