I am tempted to add it because:

  static const std::map<uint32_t, ColorSpace> v4l2ToColorSpace = {
         { V4L2_COLORSPACE_RAW, ColorSpace::Raw },
         { V4L2_COLORSPACE_JPEG, ColorSpace::Jpeg },
-       { V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB, ColorSpace::Srgb },
+     { V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB, ColorSpace::Sycc },

@@ -772,7 +772,7 @@ static const std::map<uint32_t, ColorSpace::Range> 
v4l2ToRange = {
  static const std::vector<std::pair<ColorSpace, v4l2_colorspace>> 
colorSpaceToV4l2 = {
         { ColorSpace::Raw, V4L2_COLORSPACE_RAW },

-       { ColorSpace::Srgb, V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB },
+       { ColorSpace::Sycc, V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB },


Unless, you want to drop the preset mappings as well?
