I remeber doing this a while back for another driver.
Not sure if you ever treid this or not but "#if ARRAY_SIZE()" construct
does not work because the ARRAY_SIZE() macro which needs to evaluate
sizeof() generates the following compiler error:

In file included from ../include/linux/delay.h:22,
from ../drivers/media/platform/am437x/am437x-vpfe.c:23:
../include/linux/kernel.h:47:26: warning: "sizeof" is not defined,
evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
#define ARRAY_SIZE(arr) (sizeof(arr) / sizeof((arr)[0]) +
__must_be_array(arr))

So no luck there. But I remembered also how I previously fixed it.
In this case if instead of leaving the formats[] definition with empty
brackets you actually used the same defined value like
formats[VPFE_MAX_ACTIVE_FMT] then if you inadvertantly add more enties in
the table then the value of VPFE_MAX_ACTIVE_FMT then you'll get series of
compile time warnings like this:

drivers/media/platform/am437x/am437x-vpfe.c:108:5: warning: excess elements
in array initializer
}, {
^
drivers/media/platform/am437x/am437x-vpfe.c:108:5: note: (near initialization
for ‘formats’)
drivers/media/platform/am437x/am437x-vpfe.c:115:5: warning: excess elements
in array initializer
}, {

etc...

So this is how I will address this.
