You can do something like this:

drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-tpg-colors.c

Both the generated tables and the code that generates them are in one
file.

An alternative is to add a source to v4l2-core that generates the tables,
but I don't know if that is feasible (i.e., if it can be made sufficiently
generic).

Hans
