Exactly that's why I'd like to know whenever the format used by the
phillips webcam is a standard format or some dirty hack by phillips
to make the hardware cheap: 420 instead of 422 to get more frames/sec
over usb and packed instead of planar because it's easier to handle.

I don't like the idea of adding non-standard formats to v4l/v4l2 ...
