Does the following text explain it (imagine the text being at the front
page of [2])?

"Historically, there has been a number of different projects ([1], ...),
providing v4l drivers outside of the mainline Linux kernel. If you are
migrating from drivers by such projects, you might need to know a few
things. The drivers provided by this project do not do various color
conversion routines in the kernel, but in a userspace library that we
also provide [3].

This means that programs that use v4l and v4l2 must either be
 - able to do the necessary color conversion themselves,
 - link against our userspace library that provides these
   conversions, or
 - be loaded using an appropriately set LD_PRELOAD environment
   variable."
