Does someone have access to the data sheet? I am wondering how the
arrangement of the pixel array is shown. I've the following (identical)
array for these sensors:
* imx290/imx327
* imx219
* imx415

G B G B
R G R G
G B G B
R G R G

Yet each driver configures a different bus format:

* imx290.c: MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SRGGB10_1X10
* imx415.c: MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGBRG10_1X10
* imx219.c: MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SRGGB10_1X10 (no flip)

imx219 actually defines all 4 10 Bit Bayer patterns and the comment
indicates this depends on how v or h flip is configured.
Reading the commit message apparently the same is true for this driver.

Still this is confusing as I would have expected flipping to be disabled by
default, expecting the same Bayer pattern order for all drivers. Can someone
shed some light?

Best regards,
Alexander
