I sort of got excited reading about this in the cover letter.
Sounds like a good way to deal with all of this!

Looks like only minor comments below, therefore:

Hrm ... a newline between 'every' entry looks a bit odd - I think I've
asked to keep things distinct before - but I think newlines should only
be where it makes sense.

I'd probably group these more like this:

I always wished we could generate V4L2 (or DRM?) pixelformats in an
explicit manner such as this 'BayerFormat::RGGB, 16, BayerFormat::None'
rather than the tables of enums/defines ;-)

I'm not sure I fully understand that comment, could you expand a little
perhaps please?

Presumably you mean the ordering is specific to the '1' and '2' values
used there...
