Hello,
This series adds the pixel formats and documentation for the 20-, 24-
and 28-bit Bayer formats. This is done in preparation of work on the
Renesas R-Car video capture pipeline which will support these pixel
formats in multiple drivers. For this reason it is posted as a separate
series before the driver work.

+Description
+===========
+
+These four pixel formats are raw sRGB / Bayer formats with 20 bits per
+sample. Each sample is stored in a 32-bit word. Each n-pixel row contains
+n/2 green samples and n/2 blue or red samples, with alternating red and blue
+rows. Bytes are stored in memory in little endian order. They are
+conventionally described as GRGR... BGBG..., RGRG... GBGB..., etc. Below is

Have you forgot to add the new formats to the table in
v4l2_format_info() in drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-common.c ?

One more question, the other RAW formats show a byte-organized table,
where the R G and B components are shown as line-interleaved
components (hope this is clear, have a look at the tables at
Documentation/output/userspace-api/media/v4l/pixfmt-srggb16.html
and compare it with
Documentation/output/userspace-api/media/v4l/pixfmt-srggb20.html)
Was this intentional ?
