That depends on the codec. Colorimetry information can be stored in
optional headers (for example Sequence Display Extension for MPEG-2,
Video Usability Information for H.264) but I don't know that the CODA
firmware can parse or generate any of them.

I could produce the necessary headers manually and inject them into the
bitstream in the driver.

But for example for JPEG it is not clear to me if there even is a
correct way to do that. Can V4L2 colorimetry settings be translated into
ICC profiles?

Same as above, I'd have to parse the headers in the driver.

Agreed.
