That would be me (yes still lurking on this list). I've got the patch and it 
looks good. So I'll apply it.

One question though, is this a compressed format? IOW is the bandwidth usage 
lower then with raw YUV420 ? I want to know because of how libv4l selects the 
source format.

As you said in your patch submission you've put this above raw bayer, as it 
should be prefered over raw bayer. And thats fine by me. But if the cam can 
also do JPEG, libv4l will prefer jpeg over this, as that has the compressed 
flag set in the format listing and for resultions > 176 x 144 it will prefered 
compressed formats (to get decent framerates on usb1 connections).

So if this compressed to, the compressed flag should be set in the format table 
in libv4lconvert.c
