I have a few extra comments, please see below.

I'd write

		if (transfer != GST_VIDEO_TRANSFER_UNKNOWN)

to avoid depending on the fact that GST_VIDEO_TRANSFER_UNKNOWN == 0.

This should be wrapped:

colorspace_from_colorimetry(const GstVideoColorimetry &colorimetry,
			    GstVideoTransferFunction *transfer)

No need for a v3, I'll make those changes when applying.
