For video capture it is the driver that reports the colorspace,
Y'CbCr/HSV encoding and quantization range used by the video, and there
is no way to request something different, even though many HDTV
receivers have some sort of colorspace conversion capabilities.

For output video this feature already exists since the application
specifies this information for the video format it will send out, and
the transmitter will enable any available CSC if a format conversion has
to be performed in order to match the capabilities of the sink.

For video capture we propose adding new pix_format flags:
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_CSC_COLORSPACE, V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_CSC_YCBCR_ENC,
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_CSC_HSV_ENC, V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_CSC_QUANTIZATION, and
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_CSC_XFER_FUNC. These are set by the driver to indicate
its conversion features. When set by the application, the driver will
interpret the colorspace, ycbcr_enc/hsv_enc, quantization and xfer_func
fields as the requested colorspace information and will attempt to do
the conversion it supports.

Drivers do not have to actually look at the flags: if the flags are not
set, then the colorspace, ycbcr_enc and quantization fields are set to
the default values by the core, i.e. just pass on the received format
without conversion.

Changes since v1 [1]
 - convert to rst
 - split V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_REQUEST_CSC into four separate flags for
   colorspace, ycbcr_enc/hsv_enc, quantization, and xfer_func
 - let driver set flags to indicate supported features
