Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback.

Yes, you are right!   And for convenience, a V4L2SubdeviceFormat
is a struct that has these two fields.  I will return that struct from
findBestMode to make things simpler.

That makes sense.  For this change I will adjust the "packing" param to
be packed for all cases, except if the application requested an unpacked raw
stream pixelformat.

We can consider opening the BayerFormat class to the public later.

There does not seem to be any other users of V4L2Device::updateControlInfo()
so I could remove this.  I recall this was mainly for our use, so that
should be fine.
