Subject: [RFC v5 12/15] media: uapi: Documentation: Use luma formats with CFA pattern control
Date: Mon,  3 Feb 2025 10:58:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250203085853.1361401-13-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250203085853.1361401-1-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>

Document that the luma-only, greyscale formats (Y10 etc.) are used also
for non-greyscale images with the CFA pattern specified by the
V4L2_CID_COLOUR_PATTERN control.

The advantage of this approach is that there is little (or none at all)
work needed to be able to capture such images with existing CSI-2 receiver
drivers as many already support greyscale formats when compared to new
CFA-agnostic pixelformats.

 This family of formats only store the luma component of a Y'CbCr image. They
 are often referred to as greyscale formats.
 
+These pixel formats are also used on :term:`MC-centric` devices when the CFA
+pattern is specified by the :ref:`V4L2_CID_COLOUR_PATTERN
+<image-source-control-colour-pattern>` control in the image source, typically a
