From: Hans Verkuil Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2012 12:37:18 +0000 (-0300) Subject: [media] DocBook: make the G/S/TRY_FMT specification more strict X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93828d6438081649e81b8681df9bf6ad5d691650;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [media] DocBook: make the G/S/TRY_FMT specification more strict - S/TRY_FMT should always succeed, unless an invalid type field is passed in. - TRY_FMT should give the same result as S_FMT, all other things being equal. - ENUMFMT may return different formats for different inputs or outputs. This was decided during the 2012 Media Workshop.
