Yes, we had -EPIPE, and that is what I think we were trying to resolve.

How would userspace be expected to detect what formats to use ? Should
the available formats on the capture node depend on the current linking
of the media graph?

Otherwise, to know what formats are supported - userspace must first
'get a list of formats' then try to 'set' the formats to know what is
possible?

Or should (given VIMC is quite specialist anyway) userspace 'just know'
what is capable all the same?

That's possibly fine, as we can simply remove support for the ARGB
formats from the libcamera pipeline handler if it is never expected to
be supported.

But then as a further question - what formats will we expect VIMC to
support? VIVID has a (very) wide range of formats.

Would we ever expect VIMC to be as configurable?
Or is the scope limited to what we have today?
