Getting the raw bayer frames with "--stream pixelformat=$RAW_BAYER_FMT" vs
the processed by SoftISP ones with e.g. "--stream pixelformat=RGB888" - would it
count as raw stream passthrough?

This doesn't currently work with simple pipeline handler, but I have two
patches to fix this. (They conflict with the SoftISP patch set, so I am keeping
them locally not to mess with the current work.)

Thanks,
Andrei
