Sakari Ailus 1d92152339 media: uapi: v4l: Add generic 8-bit metadata format definitions
Generic 8-bit metadata formats define the in-memory data layout but not
the format of the data itself. The reasoning for having such formats is to
allow CSI-2 receiver drivers to receive and DMA drivers to write the data
to memory without knowing a large number of device-specific formats.

These formats may be used only in conjunction with a Media Controller
pipeline where the internal pad of the source sub-device defines the
specific format of the data (using an mbus code).
