[PATCH v2 0/4] media: Fix CSI2 RGB vs BGR pixel order

[Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org>]

Hi,

Here's an(other [1]) attempt at fixing the current mess due to the
opposite meaning of what v4l2 and the MIPI-CSI2 spec call "RGB". By v4l2
nomenclature, the format CSI calls RGB is actually BGR.

Unfortunately, a handful of CSI transceivers report through RGB media
bus pixel code, which is then understood as V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB24 by CSI
receivers.

This is made somewhat worse the fact that media bus codes have been made
mostly with parallel busses in mind, and thus the order of pixels wasn't
clearly defined anywhere.

So the v4l2 vs CSI mismatch was confusing (but there's nothing we can do
about it), but the doc didn't really make an attempt at clearing it up
either.

We did have a convention so far though, that about half the affected
drivers were following. 

This series improves the doc, adds the missing media bus codes, and
converts the transceiver drivers to the rightful media bus format.

We'll also need that series [2] from Laurent to fix all the affected
transceivers. 

Let me know what you think,
Maxime

Changes in v2:
- Don't drop RGB, but treat it as deprecated instead.
- Rebase on 6.17-rc5
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250612-csi-bgr-rgb-v1-0-dc8a309118f8@kernel.org
