Hi Umang,

Thank you for the patch.

Mentioning sRGB here is a bit confusing I think. Let's focus on what
this patch does (and this will also help making sure I understood this
correctly):

V4L2 has no "none" YCbCr encoding, and thus reports an encoding for all
formats, including RGB and raw formats. This causes the libcamera
ColorSpace to report incorrect encodings for non-YUV formats. Fix it by
overriding the encoding reported by the kernel to YCbCrEncoding::None
for non-YUV pixel formats and media bus formats.

Similarly, override the quantization range of non-YUV formats to full
range, as limited range isn't used for RGB and raw formats.

						      PixelFormatInfo::ColourEncoding colourEncoding);
Same below.

I'd add a comment here, or we'll forget why.

		/*

		 * the kernel for non-YUV formats as YCbCr encoding isn't
		 * applicable in that case..
		 */

> +		if (colourEncoding == PixelFormatInfo::ColourEncodingRGB)

Shouldn't this be

		if (colourEncoding != PixelFormatInfo::ColourEncodingYUV)

? Raw formats have no YCbCr encoding either. The subject line would need
to be updated accordingly, I'd write "Adjust colorspace based on pixel
format".

Same here.

That seems a bit harsh. I'm thinking about the simple pipeline handler
in particular, which will propagate media bus formats through the
pipeline without caring much about the format itself. Would it better to
instead pick a default ?

Same here.

I'm tempted to add a helper just above this function:

namespace {

std::optional<ColorSpace> toColorSpace(const struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane &pix)
{
	V4L2PixelFormat fourcc{ pix.pixelformat };
	return toColorSpace(pix, PixelFormatInfo::info(fourcc).colourEncoding);
}

} /* namespace */

to make the color below a bit nicer (it would actually not need to be
changed at all). Up to you.
