According to media bus pixel codes definition, data formats on serial busses should be described with one bus sample per pixel. Documentation/userspace-api/media/v4l/subdev-formats.rst states: "The media bus pixel codes document parallel formats. Should the pixel data be transported over a serial bus, the media bus pixel code that describes a parallel format that transfers a sample on a single clock cycle is used. For instance, both MEDIA_BUS_FMT_BGR888_1X24 and MEDIA_BUS_FMT_BGR888_3X8 are used on parallel busses for transferring an 8 bits per sample BGR data, whereas on serial busses the data in this format is only referred to using MEDIA_BUS_FMT_BGR888_1X24. This is because there is effectively only a single way to transport that format on the serial busses." Some MIPI CSI receivers strictly obey this definition and declare support for only *1X_* formats. Hence, complement the supported media bus formats with their 1X16 versions (currently applicable to yuyv, uyvy) to enhance interoperability with CSI receivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
